Last Sleep

I just turned 84 today 

And am reminiscing as on the bed I lay,

That how the years have fluttered by 

And I soulfully silently sigh.

I remember my young ages 

And the mom and I rage,

I remember my childhood pranks 

And the salt and pepper study ranks.

I remember the crying days 

I lost my life-giver to slay,

I remember my most important seven rounds 

Which tied my life with new bounds. 

I remember giving birth 

To my devil naughty dearths, 

I remember staying up all night 

To give my kids the might -fight.

I remember my kids migrating away 

And leaving us at alone bay,

But in the end 

The birds came home to make amends.

I have lived my life to the fullest 

Now I can happily finally rest,

I think it is time to meet the creator 

Become one with the nature mater.

Thus sleeping for the last time 

For the way up has started to shine.
