When It's My Time

Do not shed tears grieving my death;
I do not fear my final breath.

I've felt the wind blow through my hair,
and when seasons changed, I was there.

I've danced amidst falling raindrops;
watching showers quench thirsty crops.

I've viewed murmurations of birds;
and filled books with poetic words.

I've seen distant twinkling stars shine;
ate gourmet foods and drank fine wine.

I've witnessed day morph into night;
crossed seas, and experienced flight.

I've walked on fluffy flakes of snow;
and observed the tides' ebb and flow.

I've loved, and I've been loved in turn;
and I've felt passion's hot flame burn.

I've lived; when it's my time to die,
there will be no reason to cry.
