The names on my wall

The names on my wall
Of friends old and new
Will forever remain
In my heart so true

I asked them for a word
I could care for and love
That would keep me here
And not up above

But now I realise
These words that they gave
Were meant to be placed
In a card on my grave

These names that lie
Perfectly placed on my wall
Shall be my only comfort
When I take my final fall

I just want you to know
That the words that you gave
Meant so much to me
On my dying day
