Time To Go

Here i am bed-ridden
With troubles ive hidden
From family and friends
Who no longer care

But i wont complain 
Though theres constant pain
For deep down inside
Its my very own cross to bear.

So i just slowly slip away
As i weaken day by day
Only the doctors and nurses
I allow to see

I ask no sympathy please
For tears wont appease
Just believe that God above
Will always be with me.

Hi Carl.. Good morning. I'm in the mountains with my dog (Bo) this morning. Sipping on your wonderful write and a hot cup of Joe. Nature is waking up and you're bringing a delight to my senses!
