Final Good Bye

Soon these fleeting hours be done
The cool grave waits expectantly
Hopelessly my life pleads
To lie in his arms again
My weak head bends in gratitude
He carried my burdens and fears
This bright world tempts me dearly
When the time to finally leave is here
To walk one last time with him
To see him cherish me closely
And banish dark memories with a kiss
For him something special
My heart wishes to do
Just before saying good bye

As a poem it's a beautiful sad write but if there is any reality behind such depressions be strong my friend. After every dark night comes the dawn of hope and happiness to shower it's love on the one who keep waiting and trying till the darkness persist. Keep your hopes always alive even if there is nothing to find. Love and best wishes...Ravindra...Tahera Mannan
