Last Day

Let a fanfare of trumpets call your name And fireworks right your name in the sky. A nation chants your name in a joyous chorus Your achievement, you stole my heart my mind my being, no hesitation or doubt to share You have everything I have got to give and everything I needed to exist. Just speak my name upon those lips and hold me in your heart, so dear. Then close the door and do not cry. As she left the building and looked back once And the door sign read DIGNITAS

An extremely emotive poem Stephen:-) we have no choice to be born but I believe we should have a choice when we die especially if one has a terminal illness. my mum had a pen pal in the Netherlands when she died mum maintained contact with the hubby and one day she got a 'goodbye' letter as he had terminal cancer and was opting to have euthanasia and he had control right up to the end.:-) hugs Jan xx
