I hope it is sunny when I die.
I’ve seen enough of the rain,
I’ve seen enough dreary days,
I’ve seen enough clouds in the sky.
I hope the sun blazes when I die.
the concrete sidewalks hot to touch,
the cooler ice threatening to melt,
the shady corner the only salvation.
I hope to be alone when I die.
My mother at the mall,
My siblings at the beach,
My father at the lake.
I hope it is sunny when I die.
Just like today.
