WHEN AM DEAD AND GONE

When am dead and gone 

By ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

It’s dawn and the sky is brown

The whole land is cold

Announcements over the media

I’ve kicked the bucket

Will you weep and grieve?

When am dead and gone?

Sit and recall all our sweet memories

Remember the glances we shared

Stories we exchanged every  twilight

On our way home so sweet

Celebrate my life with a smile

When am dead and gone.

Sing precious lord take my hand

As you lay my bones back to soil

With a wreath of white roses

I’ll still love you because I know you do too

And hope these words will help you through

When am dead and gone
