A Life Well Lived

February 16, 2025

Will you visit me in my lonely bed,
Will you simply hold my hand and stay while?
After a bit, ignore the tears we’ve shed,
And remember the past with me and smile.

We can talk of days long gone by, and then,
Imagining lost walks over the years.
And think of our time that might have been,
Lament the time on the phone disappeared.

Hold me, as I lay in this mortal coil,
I am so grateful for you, my best friend.
It is peaceful beyond the world’s turmoil,
Getting to spend life with you at the end.

Help me remember more than I forget,
With you, I’ve lived a life without regret.
