I have walked quite a long way on my life’s journey
And my destination is now in sight.
The journey has not been as long as I would have liked, and expected.
Though it has been a wonderful, happy one
But not this last part.
This last part is very difficult.
I am on a path that I would not have chosen for myself.
But I have been forced onto it.
I do not why…
It is dark. I can hardly see where I am headed.
Having travelled so happily thus far
I thought I could complete this last part the same way.
I now know that is not possible.
For I am tired, very weak, and do not feel joyful.
My heart feels strangely heavy.
I need your help on this last part of my journey.
I do not know what reaching my destination will lead to.
When I get there, perhaps I can rest.
By then I know that I will be on my own.
I will leave you all behind.
You cannot come with me.
You can come and visit me, though.
No holdind hands, hugs, kisses or talking.
But you can stay by me for a few moments.
Share our memories.
Remember me, and our happy times together
I would like that.
It will cheer me up, until the next visit.
I have never liked being on my own...
