My living journey is over

My living journey is over

My living journey is over
I’ve enjoyed it whilst I could
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed, I’ve been clever, I’ve been daft and if that’s not part of life, it should.
Some of you are youngsters, some in between or beyond
Some are friends or family, whatever; my memories of you were all fond
You are here today at a gathering to show your respects to me
Wow, how lucky I am you are so thoughtful, but also saddened and thus make this plea
When this day is over, indeed when you depart this event
Try to give of your love and kindness as if you were from heaven sent
Thank you for all of your past caring and the kind deeds you did which meant so much,
For the treats, the days out, the gestures and gifts, conveyed with that loving touch.
Yes, I noticed those things and are grateful, especially as my needs became more real
But now I’ve gone, you must move on, though for a while it may seem a little surreal.
My living journey is over, I’ve enjoyed it while I could
Farewell, time out, goodbye to all, I’m done; I’ve said what I should.
