I ’ ve finished life ’ s chores assigned to me,

So put me on a boat headed out to sea.

Please send along my fishing pole

For I ’ ve been invited to the fishin ’ hole.

Where every day is a day to fish,

To fill your heart with every wish.

Don ’ t worry, or feel sad for me,

I ’ m fishin ’ with the Master of the sea.

We will miss each other for a while,

But you will come and bring your smile.

That won ’ t be long you will see,

Till we ’ re together you and me.

To all of those that think of me,

Final Arrangements Entrusted To

Be happy as I go out to sea.
