Slipping Away

My eyes have closed, I am slipping away don’t cry my family I am not far away. I will see you again when your eyes close and you slip away; it is the other side that will be our meeting place. Their will be no more darkness or no more pain as the sun will shine upon your face. So please my family don’t see me as I am gone’ as you should know I am not very far away.
