Yup. I decided to blog my poems before I post it on Seuta Cafe so I don't spam the cafe.

Inspired by The Band Perry's If I Die Young. The parts in grey were not sung but I hope you can follow through :P

Okay! Clickies to hear our Chinese-American Sam Tsui's beautiful voice! :D

If I Die Young

If I die young,

Give away my toys

Dress them all up in

Dainty frocks

Give a ribbon to dear

Snowdrop

Please keep them together no matter what

…

Oh oh, oh oh

...


I've still got my dreams

Hidden in that bottle

The one that's buried in that cherry blossom yonder

And those

Precious seedlings of aspiration and my lovely

Sunflowers of fulfilled ambitions
 

Care for which what used to be mine

So when

You leave

You’ll leave nothing behind

If I die young,

Take care of my flowers

Turn their heads towards

The sunset

Unearth my dreams and

Scatter

Them into the wind so they'll flutter round the whole world

Share that which I leave behind

So they'll

Be there for me to find

As for my photos

Curl them up into a bottle

And drop them in the sea where you'll never find them again oh

Save a few like the one when I was five

Give one to my father and one to my Mom

Tell them

That whatever I said

I love them forever

Oh if only they'll return me the favour by

Remembering their child's laughter

And

Never regret her

If I die young

Don't tell my parents

Wait and see if they’ll

Feel my absence

Explain that I had

Wandered

But next time I'll return as an even better daughter

So don't cry no more and I'll breathe before I

Run out of the seconds slipping through my fingers

And maybe then you'll hear

The sound of them trickling

Perhaps only then do we appreciate things...
 

...

If I die young

Write me a tribute

Tell the world I was here and of what I contributed

Please shed a tear for a life 

Once lived

For a girl who dreamed all her way into a deep sleep

…

Oh oh

…

For that girl inside my heart

…

Don't turn back, don't forget

Gather up your skirts

Run towards the light

Like you did when you first entered this beautiful earth
 

Care for which what was mine…
