Last Thoughts

As the last shread of life escapes my grasp.
I think of the questions left unasked.
My last breath it feels so thick.
Thinking all the things that make me sick.
A tear rolls down my cheek.
My grandchildrens futures look so bleak.
The nurse grabs my hand, I'm glad that I'm not alone.
Deaths gaze chilling me to the bone.
He asks if i could change one thing what would it be?
I tell him that every mistake has made me, me.
No regrets is the only way to live.
I was lucky enough to find someone to share my life with.
But she is already gone.
From that day i made sure her memory lived on.
Now that all is said and done.
I hope the memories i leave with you are fun.

Goodbye.
