Forest Lawn
Today I rode my bike to Forest Lawn cemetery.
I saw a man standing so still, I thought he was a statue;
And a statue so lifelike, I thought it was a man.
I decided I want to be cremated and buried in the earth,
no urn, preferably under some trees.
My plaque will have a cross, my name,
the years of my birth and death,
a picture of my face (if possible),
and a few words written by my family and friends.
