AS MY END OF DAYS BECKONS NEAR
TIME TO REFLECT ON GOLDEN CHEER
A SMILE BREAKS UPON MY FACE
AS THE SUNSHINE OF MEMORIES I DO TRACE
NO HOPES OR DREAMS HAPPENED TRUE
BUT YOUR LOVE WAS A BEACON TO SEE ME THROUGH
WHEN THE SHADOWS CAST FEAR ON MY DARKEST DAYS
YOU LIFTED ME UP FROM MY DISMAL HAZE
TRIED TO SHOW ME LOVE BUT I FEARED IT SO
HOLDING ON TO MY ANGUISH I COULD NOT LET GO
I SEEKED SOLICE IN THE POETRY I WROTE
EASIER TO SHOW MY LOVE WITH A NOTE
BUT I COULD NOT DRAG YOU DOWN IN MY DESPAIR
YOU KEPT ME AFLOAT YOU WERE ALWASY THERE
THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE YOU DID SHOW
FROM YOUR HEART IS WHERE THE LOVE DID FLOW
ONE DAY YOU WILL AWAKEN TO THE WORDS I SPEAK
I WAS NEVER THE PRIZE YOUR HEART DID SEEK
SO WITH A TREMBLING HAND I WAVE GOODBYE
PLEASE THINK OF ME BUT JUST DONT CRY
AS I CLOSE MY EYES FOR THE FINAL TIME
HOPING TO SEE YOUR FACE IS NO CRIME
WHEN THE INK DRYS AND THE LETTER IS SENT
THIS WILL BE THE END OF THIS POETS LAMENT....
