Death

I’m lying here in bed,
my body’s old and weak can barely move.
But my thought are still fresh,
I hope you have some time to hear my words.
Won’t bother you with my
experiences, my old stories, I
Just want to thank you for
the wonderful life I had.

Thanks for the love I felt,
from all my friends, my wife, my family.
Thanks for the laughs I had,
from all the things I did when I was kid
Thank you for showing me,
how music could express my feelings,
all my needs, my goals, my hope,
my thoughts, my love.

Pain, that feeling made me grow,
Correct my faults, my lacks then there was
Hate, I tried to feel that less,
It led nowhere and only hurt myself.
Sometimes felt jealousy,
I wasn’t proud of It but worse was,
Greed, forgive me please I ask,
I am not perfect and I never was.

Just want to die in peace
Come here and hold my hand
Don’t go away my son
Won’t leave you alone my friend
Will watch you always
Disconnect me please

Thank You
