Let Me: Alone

Let me walk alone,
my journey to enhance.
Stop to pick a yellow daisy;
time to pause and dance.

Let me dance alone
tho my steps, to some, be wrong.
Waltz high upon a mountain;
whispered echo's of my song.

Let me sing alone
of loves with bated breath.
Fill my soul with laughter
until I lay in death.

Let me die alone.
Toast my life with wine.
My journey was my own
and it was mighty fine.
