“I have died at the ripe age of twenty.
Smile, for the world didn’t get a chance to disappoint me.I have died at the mature age of ninety.
Smile, for my life was more than satisfying.I have died suddenly — out of the blue.
Smile, for I didn’t have to fall ill before you.I have died from a long illness.
Smile, for I had the chance to say goodbye.I did not want to leave this Earth.
But smile, for I am still here among you.Why are you crying?
Can you not see I am smiling?”Kamand Kojouri
