Emile Pinet Poet Couplet

When It's My Time

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

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

I've danced amidst falling raindrops,
and watched Nature quench thirsty crops.

I've seen murmurations of birds,
and filled books with poetic words.

I've seen a sky full of 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 received love in turn,
and my heart's felt passion's flame burn.

I've lived, now I'm ready to die,
there's no reason for you to cry.
