If there is a chance I'll turn into a plant

When the earth receives my being,

Please make me a creeping plant

Specifically a water melon plant

And give me space to climb, crawl and lie

I'd like to climb the tallest tree

And give my tips the chance to feel the breeze

I'd like to crawl on any grounds

To feel the thorns and fine sand alike
