I don’t have that much to say, so do not see me in this way.

I only have a list for you, I hope you’ll find it useful, too.

Read carefully, and please do heed these words that I give, indeed.

For all you need to know to rest is some words of advice from your friend, Death.

1. Think of me often. No, I’m not kidding, think of your coffin.

If you do, you’ll daily remember that January is a blink from December.

What I mean to say is, if you think of Death every day,

You’ll remember the most important rule of life, living.

2. Don’t wish for me. Now I know what you may be thinking.

Why do you think I’m writing? There’s nothing for me to be hiding.

Life and death both exist for a reason, to deny it would be treason,

So let us decide in which place you reside, it’s our job.

That’s really all I have to say, I mean it’s not like I think of these things every day.

I just felt I needed to save a few lives by telling the truth and hoping it survives.

I hope that you’ll listen to these things I’ve said, after all, I’m the reason you’ll ever be dead.

So if you are contemplating your last breath, I hope you’ll take these Life Lessons From Death.
