From suckling on my mothers
breast,
to breathing my last breath,
I've tried, I've learned, I've suffered,
and now I lay to rest.
The places that I've lived and seen,
the people that I've known,
they all fade into memories,
with those that might have been.
I've answered mother natures
call,
whilst aiming for the stars,
my wishes for the future,
desires each and all.
Whilst those I leave here far behind,
I envy them their fate,
I
loved my life so dearly,
with body, soul and
mind.
And still the hands
of time sweep by,
the seconds counting fast,
no time to question past regrets,
no time to question why.
I feel my life must soon subside,
the darkness drawing nearer,
the past blends with the future,
as life and death collide.
I sense my body float and
sway,
the light shine through the dark,
I feel the love that binds me now,
my life just slides away.
I know I'm joining with the rest,
they tell me that its time,
I
feel as mother reaches out,
and returns me to her
breast.
Dedicated to the loving memory of my father,
Leonard Chidgey.
