As I lay dying, yes dying <br />Tired, unsure of which shore <br />Not to walk anymore. <br /> <br />As I lay dying, yes dying <br />I saw ancient trees, blue skies <br />All the many times I hadn't been wise. <br /> <br />As I lay dying, yes dying <br />My old father's face swam before my eyes; <br />He said, 'My child, you can't die before me: <br />Now try to rise.' <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-i-lay-dying-6/
