Analysis of When I Die
Lucus Rougeou 1978 (Louisiana)
What will be said when I die?
Well anyone even mourn or cry?
The life I've lived has definitely been a tough one.
I hope everyone knows how much i really loved them.
I wish Ida done things differently i really really do.
I should've took my blessings and handed them all off to you.
Life is short it goes by n a flash.
Looking forward to the future regretting some of the past
I fought the fight of faith the very best I could.
Although all i did wasnt always good.
Please! Please! Please! Hear my Plea.
When you recall remember the good in me.
Please remember the memories that we shared
And though I didn't always show it always know that I cared.
