Final Thoughts

As my family gather around me I feel their whispers of insecurity Thoughts of past events racing through my head. As I lay here dying on my bed Drifting in and out of disturbed sleep I hear the sounds of my wife weep Telling stories of my life events and past My childhood memories drifting so fast. Of happy long summers and never ending winters. My life breaking up into tiny little splinters Talks of greed and if I made a will. The only thoughts are the pockets they can fill Heated conversation and unsettled voices I am forgotten about while they they make their own choices Someone shouts out where are his deeds My thoughts and sounds now coming in short feeds. My breathing now slow as I drift into eternal sleep Family still talking of what they will reap As I awake into a glorified light Away and at peace from all of the fight To an eternal life away from corruption and greed My pain and suffering now finally freed

Sadly, this is all too often the case- but at least you get a happy ending. Well put, good verse.
