before i die

four different things i have to do

before i vanish, from the earth without a clue

they will murmur while taking me to my resting place

that i did what i promised to do or at least i did my best

hey you, just listen to my worries

i was a good boy who liked his mama,papa and school

there also was my all time sweetheart 

 they called her rose and she has angel eyes and lips like cherries

i loved her like a innocent lover 

but could not tell her 

someday after she moved to a new town

i stood there weeping and my head was down

i never heard or saw her again

as i am having little time left for me

my first thing to do is find and tell her my feelings soon.

i don't know what i am crying for

don't i believe  there is never an end

in my past i always running for money

i never cared for others 

and now i am suffering for that i am sure.

where are my near and dear ones as i am lying down here alone

where is my son and where is my sweet little girl tory

my second thing to do before i die is

call all of them and tell them sorry.

i loved my wife and she loved me too

she was like the most beautiful flower and i was the tree

we both climbed the success mountain

holding each others hand and promised we never would fall apart

but she died peacefully and set herself free

i was hurt like a wounded bird 

and never went to see her resting place

now i quietly counting the number of years since she was gone

and it is a long time of seven

third thing is to tell her , we will soon meet in heaven

 all of my life i never believed you

never prayed, i never went to your holy home 

 as i became a sad and lonely person

and as my bones became weak and my hairs grey

i understand true value of yours

and last thing i want to do is 

for once i will go to church and pray.

Not bad, but I'd suggest maybe breaking this up into stanzas just so it's that much easier to read? as it stands, because of the length, it seems to blur together somewhat, and it seems some of the things you're saying come across as a little redundant. Other than that, this was well-written and you've expressed a powerful sentiment. Well done.
