Fading Into---
Collaboration with Marcello Eans
As I get older, I tend to forget more and more.
With each passing year, memories seem to fade away.
Visions of my childhood are not as strong as before.
It’s getting harder and harder to face each day.
As my life slips away, sometimes I really worry.
What used to be routine is now a small challenge.
I’ve spent my life always thinking I had to hurry,
But it’s too late now to go back and make a change.
Might sound strange, feels like only yesterday
I would join in as my brothers & sisters play.
Some say everything happens for a reason
Each activity under Heaven has its own season.
Life has meaning for those open to embrace it.
World owes me nothing but death, soon I must face it.
All of mankind will taste it, why should we worry?
Eternity & that life after thingy is where is gets blurry.
Every, single day I think about where I’m going,
But it’s a journey that I know I won’t face alone.
With no bags to pack (only baggage), I fear nothing.
I’m ready to meet my maker and follow him home.
It’s hard to believe that the cancer has spread so fast,
But I accept my fate and I’m ready to depart this Earth.
It’s time to make amends with those I’ve hurt in the past.
At age thirteen, I now know how much-loved ones are worth.
