When I'm dead. Your tears will flow But I won't know Cry with me now insteadWhen I'm dead.Your tears will flowBut I won't knowCry with me now instead

A beautiful poem by Lee Tzu Pheng (Singapore Cultural Medallion winner)


When I'm dead.
Your tears will flow
But I won't know
Cry with me now instead.

You will send flowers,
But I won't see
Send them now instead

You'll say words of praise
But I won't hear.
Praise me now instead

You'll forget my faults,
But I won't know.....
Forget them now instead.

You'll miss me then,
But I won't feel.
Miss me now, instead.

You'll wish You could have spent more time with me,
Spend it now instead

When you hear I'm gone, you'll find your way to my house to pay condolence but we haven't even spoken in years.
Look for me now.

Spend time with every person around you, and help them with whatever you have to make them happy, your families, friends and acquaintances.
Make them feel Special because you never know when time will take them away from you forever.

Alone I can 'Say' but together we can 'Talk'.
Alone I can 'Enjoy' but together we can 'Celebrate'
Alone I can 'Smile' but together we can 'Laugh'

That's the BEAUTY of Human Relations.
We are nothing without each other
So Stay Connected!!

You don't have to worry about your death
For everybody will die
We are but travelled on earth
Even if together we cry
Nothing will move your death

I know care is what you need
You want it before your death
On this, you are right indeed
Who wants to be celebrated after death?

Expect my praises just soon
I will praise you before you die
This is what makes me a good human
I am ready to laugh with you before for you I cry

My Dear Friend worry not
I will send you flowers before you die
I will come to wherever you want
Importantly, I as much as I could I will try
I would like to cheer up your heart
