May I Go Now?
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say good-bye to pain-filled days and nights?
I've lived my life and done my best....
A good friend tried to be
So, can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first.
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
To a warm and loving light.
I want to go. 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 you.
I'll hope you'll always know.
That my spirit will be close to you
Where ever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me!
You know I love you too...
That's why it's hard to say good-bye
Adn 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.
