My name will now be lost in time

My name will now be lost in time

My grandparents and parents have alas gone on their way
Inevitably, it had to be my turn. Before you here I lay

It’s been an interesting journey, with challenges here and there
Some of which made life difficult and some of which I was pleased to share

I feel that I have striven, I feel that I have served
I feel that I have succeeded though whether or not deserved

My name will now be lost in time as befall but just the few
I was so so pleased to be part of your life and hope it was the same for you

We’ve shared some magic moments with memories to recall
But now it’s time to close the book, once and for all

To my treasured most loved offspring, my thoughts go out to you
Enjoy your lives, move on from me, and to each other, please be true.
