Departing Soon

Hello, dear friend, it’s been a while I hope to hear you’re doing well How are you feeling, how’s the family? Please chat with me and sit a spell. The rooms of life have lost their sunshine As age, like draperies, come to close The sun still strong is trying hard now To reach me here, before repose So, speak dear friend, of the outside Tell me of the sun’s warming grace Let me know then, before I travel By gazing at your smiling face
