The Last Goodbye!
The Last Goodbye!


I lay cold and still on the coffin bed,
With an ivory gown and lipstick red.
Oh! I wonder if my family is doing well,
For I noticed each tear that fell.
I wasn't afraid to leave this world,
As this disease in my lungs swirled.
Before death, I blessed an angel soul,
With whose love my heart was stolen.
In the hot summer night,
I had to let go; I lost my fight.
For the strength, I had left me,
My pain faded, believe me.
Gone are the days my bones were young,
I hummed to the old songs sung.
Gone are the days the pain was not there,
And all the stories and laughter we'd share.
I wish I could just stay back and sit,
And enjoy as my family talk and meet.
How much would I love to go back in time,
But how could I ever cross the line!
I couldn't say goodbye,
I let go of this world with a sigh!
It must be onerous to accept my absenteeism,
But credence it just like that of theism.
My dears, don't remember me with sadness,
I know my death was of a pretty abruptness.
God's call was soft yet a clear tone,
And I could see the angels approaching with a mourn.
I'll always remember the adorable face,
I knew she'd come even in a daze.
I wanted to tell her, how I feel!
It would break her, I didn't have the will.
I chose to leave it all behind,
In a heart so pure and kind.
I believe my little girl has got this,
With her smile and a soul full of bliss.
I'd choose to stay and pray,
To bless my family every day.
To love in the days gone by,
The calm and peace was my goodbye!
