A very Gracious Goodbye

 

Do not weep for me
let your heart not feel sorrow
for my life

 now faded into yesterday

with no more tomorrow  

wish me well

 as it is I, who will weep
it is I who will feel the loss
without touch or a vision of your smile

achievement, of all that I wished for
is the greatest pair of shoes

 I could have ever worn

and I wore them well

and now as I amble from day to day
into eternity
forever knowing

I no longer leave footprints

I know you still think of me

and I will sleep well.
