Scattering Ashes At Sea Guide: 5 Important Things You Need To Know
______________________________________________________________ There'd needn't be no digs of earth
or clumps of clay that weigh my girth,
no need for flowering rainbow bloom
nor marbled granite to grace my tomb,
no duly visits to honor my grave,
just set me free amongst that wave,
that way of life was so much of me,
there hail's the undulate opened sea,
my fishing tales, my last testament,
my love of the sea, my monument,
there are sent waves with puffs white crest,
for there you'll find my final rest,
for this, it is ... my choice ... my place,
where I'll embrace, His Holy Grace,
AMENE ... AMENE AMENE ... AMEN~
