Poem
Deathbed When we are old and youth is in their hands, I will be with you; heed my plans, For I have waited for a lifetime, To sit with you inside the sunshine. I have since long ago dreamed of your love. My wife of all time, my future and past, My present and my bride in the above. The two of us shall be sat on the swinging bench, As our children play with their children, While others sing. The music and laughter will be with me, After I am taken away into the everlasting. I have long since dreamed of a life-time love, Yet too long has love been waiting to hug. The love of my life, the twine that binds, My hand in your hand throughout my life. As I say my final goodbyes, There is water in your eyes, But do not cry, I had a life, And as my daughters stand hand in hand with their husbands and wives, And their children smile and wave me goodbye, I wipe the tears from their eyes with a smile. I tell them each I love you too, Each and every one of you, More than you will ever know; But now is the time that I must go. Upon this deathbed I lay with the love of my life. Her head upon my chest, never ready to say goodbye. I whisper you gave me all I could ever want, So lift your head up and look into my eyes, Before long I will be gone. I have loved you all ways. I will love you beyond the grave, And I will love you when there are no birds singing in the sky, For the time has come for the silence to reign. I love you more, she says, With a knowing smile, A perfect private joke. A smile on a face And finally, I love you, Goodbye… And then going up in smoke… (C)2018 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
