DD 9/8/03 ETERNAL LIFE, BY LEE HAYS

ETERNAL LIFE
Lee Hays (of "The Weavers")

If I should die before I wake,
All my bones and sinews take
And put them in a compost pile
To decompose there for a while.

When water, sun have had their way
Returning me to common clay
All that I am shall feed the trees
And little fishes in the seas.

When Radishes and corn you munch,
You may be having me for lunch,
And then, excrete me with a grin,
Saying, "There goes Lee again!"

All this, my happy destiny
To die, and live, eternally.
