As I face,
My demise,
I look deeply,
Into your eyes.
Sullen, sad,
Full of tears.
You sit by me,
Full of fear.
My pain is real.
I can’t deny.
I’ve stopped asking,
The reason why.
So many bad,
People around.
Why, then me,
In this state I’m found.
But, not up to me,
Not mine to make.
A Holy decision,
On me he’s placed.
So, all that’s left,
For me to do.
Is value these moments,
I have left with you.
I do not want,
You to be sad.
Focus on good times,
Together, we’ve had.
The day I came,
To be myself,
Day I found love,
With you, yourself.
The life we had,
Each other, both.
Filled us with joy,
Filled us with hope.
I’ve been blessed,
I appreciate.
Even though,
This now’s my fate.
As I fall into,
Eternal sleep,
Go on with life,
My memory keep.
Promise me though,
You’ll find happiness.
No more sadness for me,
Honor this request.
Please.

Thanks so very much Augustus. I will remember your reply forever. I do feel that my loved ones, now passed, do not want me to feel sad. So, I try my best to remember only the great times. Thanks again 🙂

HI HONEY ~ Thanks for sharing the sadness and finality of your future bereavement with us in a very very elegant poem.
