forever more

I am alone

Surrounded by those

Who gave me life

Were parts of my life

And those, without whom,

I would have had no life

We enter this world alone

So we must leave alone

No regrets

For if I have touched

But one person

Then forever

Will I live

There will be no banners

No symphonies of love

No fireworks

No bright light

Just a solitary voice

Saying

"Good-bye"

Weep not for me

Smile if you think of me

Do not be sad

For I find no sadness

In having known you

And I will take these memories

With me

As I sleep forever more
