If I Die Today

If I die today
Let it be known
That I die happily
I've had a terrible life
Filled with loss and sorrow
But finally God has graced
Me with the sweet kiss of death
It is not fair that
Anyone go through what I did
It is not humane
It is not fair to loose
Your hearing
Your sight
Your strength
Your taste
Your hope
All before the age of 18
It is not fair to watch
Your parents fight
Your siblings pass
Your friends disappear
Your life fall apart
Your brother leave
Your family separate
All before the age of 18
So, if I were to die today
Let it be known
That I have finally got
What I wanted
Hope for a new life
Where I can have all
That I have lost
