May I Go Now? Don' t you think the time is right? May I say good-bye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights? I' ve lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be, so can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn' t want to goat first If ought with all my might! But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light. I want togo! I really do! It' s difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can to live just one more day. To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears. I know you' re sad and are afraid because I see your tears. I' ll not be far, I promise that, and I hope you will always know that my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go. Thank you for loving me, you know I loved you too. That' s why it is hard to say good-bye, and end this life with you. So hold me now, just one more time, and let me hear you say, because you care so much for me, you' ll let me go today. -Anonymous-
