As I sit back in this old wicker chair
not a soul in sight
looking back on my life.

This is my moment
when it all comes together
just a twinkle in my eye
as nothing else dares to speak.

And beautiful it was
this journey of mine
as I close my eyes
prepare to let go.

How did I get here so quickly
time doesn’t know
for it has no place to go.

And all I can think of is the love that was shared
from every perfect soul
that ever caught my eye.

You fueled my body and uplifted me
made me fight for something greater
and never give up.

For that I am
eternally grateful
and you will always be
little pieces of me.

So as I leave this place
it’s ok to forget
that’s the human condition
our only way to survive.

But always know no matter where you are
I’m watching over you
between the sun and the moon.

I’ll be the lion in your dreams
and the warmth in your heart
that glimmer of hope
that always shines through the dark.
