So Long

I was sitting at my table,

Wondering what to do.

When without a warning,

My thoughts did turn to you.

I sat there just in silence,

A teardrop in my eye.

I knew my thoughts would only,

Serve to make me cry.

I guess you did remind me,

Of all the friends who've cared.

For me throughout my lifetime,

And the great times that we shared.

My time on Earth is closing,

Nearly time to say so long.

For although my mind is active,

My body is not strong.

I have had a great life,

I certainly can't complain.

If I had my time back over,

I'd do it all again.

I hold no fears within me,

I am ready now to go.

I can only hope that always,

My love did somehow show.

Please do not cry for me,

I leave with inner peace.

I only ask that you recall,

My love did never cease.

So my friends from all the places,

I bid to you goodbye,

And if there's any tears to shed,

Let me be the one to cry.
