Notes
When I die I want to be cremated and my ashes thrown into my hometown Tone River
I would hate to be enclosed in a “crypt” or a “grave”!
During the daytime the sun shines brightly
t night the stars reflected on the surface will look over me – and I’ll flow into the ocean
Then I will truly be free
