Oh, let me die a natural death <br />Lord, when my stay here ends; <br />When I have seen all beautiful earth, <br />And I have made amends; <br />I’ll do my best in my life-span, <br />Far better than the average man; <br />I’ll do my best, <br />I’ll do my best, <br />I’ll try to do the best I can. <br /> <br />Oh, let me die a natural death, <br />When I am old and wise; <br />And let me keep on my good health, <br />Without contracting vice; <br />Without ailments of any kind, <br />With health of heart and soul and mind; <br />Without ailments, <br />Without ailments, <br />And leave my footprints good behind. <br /> <br />Oh, let me die a natural death, <br />Without a doctor’s aid; <br />My death be not declared by steth, <br />Like flowers, let me fade; <br />The good must stay when I am gone; <br />I thank my Maker I was born; <br />The good must stay, <br />The good must stay, <br />The planet earth, to well adorn. <br /> <br />Fondly dedicated to Jan Turner <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-08-2013<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-let-me-die-a-trijan-refrain-poem/
