One Final Gift

Scatter me not to the restless winds,
Nor toss my ashes to the sea.
Remember now those years gone by...
When loving gifts I gave to thee.
Remember now these happy times...
The family ties we shared.
Don't leave my resting place unmarked
As though you never cared.
Deny me not one final gift
For all who come to see...
A single lasting proof that says
I loved...and you loved me.

Nor toss my ashes to the sea.

As though you never cared.
Deny me not one final gift
