The Last Goodbye!

The Last Goodbye!

2 mins
318


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!
