"This is a Family & Friend request. This piece must be read out quietely, but background vocals should be loud. I instruct that soulfull R&B Gospel singers sing in Harmony the famous Scottish song "Amazing Grace." Take it as high as you can to capture the highs I had in my ever turbulent life, harmonize with great simultation to reflect the peace I wished and worked so hard for in this world, give it your all as you reach those awkward notes to emphasize the great energy I had and to cap it all embrace each other to resemble the love I had and lost...may peace be with you all...

(I am at present a Stranger in a strange land...)

If I should die here in this unfamiliar surrounding
then let the clap of thunder carry me home,
if I should falter here and lose my way in this unknown territory
then let the moon shine her loving light to show me the safest direction to go,

Follow the stars at night
for they know the right roads and the most brightly lit path,
gather flocks of all winged species
they are the surest couriers to spread the word of my untimely death,
and then on the day of my passing...........

I request you all to will the flames that burn my shell,
blow on me some soft breeze
that helps me to my destination well,
everything shall become calm and spiritual,
all that remains is dreams, hope and a swift scent of a miracle,
please please oh! please destroy your fears,
and Mother dear Mother don´t you cry now, wipe away that mountain of tears,
refrain from wearing Black and there shall be no mourning,
but I permit a popular tune to be blasted from the Ministers´ organ,
now let the procession begin, let the rose lower and the curtain slide,
I bid you all farewell as I collect my ticket for the long destination ride,
go home now you sad ones, the service has now ended,
quit sobbing and let those true loved ones of mines´ broken hearts be mended,
take off those Black ties that I told you all not to wear,
and Father dear Father crack open a bottle of your choice
but please do not feel regret as you sit there wetting your tonsils in your favourite chair,

a small plaque should be raised but not in my name, but for the ones who loved me
and the few I loved in return,
Incase my remains proudly in a polished Silver urn,
I ask you now kindly to blow me to the wind for some self helping luck,
and the rest of me shall be strewn across a famous Scottish Loch,

The End
