My Last Day Here
Today I will take my final bow and be gone.
My light will extinguish with the rise of dawn.
Mom and dad I wish I had more time with you.
I wish the time we had together, I didn't argue.
I take back every mean thing I said.
I am so sorry for the tears I made you shed.
To my brother and sister, you will go on and get older.
But if you need me, I'll be there, with one hand on your shoulder.
I would like to say to all my friends,
time goes on, but friendship never ends.
I wish there were more good memories I could create.
But the ones you all gave me, were better than great.
At my funeral, please I don't want anyone to cry.
Because we'll meet again, and I'll teach you how to fly.
To everyone else out there,
I have something I want to share.
We all know that life goes fast,
and its hard to make the good things last.
If you love someone, tell them you do,
you might not get many more chances to.
