Contented I Wait To Embrace Death
I look back, how far life has come
keeping me strong, not turning full
circle like Shakespeare’s poem
Observing my chums, leaving me
one by one, I'm ready to board
not afraid to explore beyond
Will there be premonitions or
guiding light in a dark tunnel,
a bridge on a river to cross
Anxious about dying, not death,
wish, walk into oblivion
with a smile, without assistance
Let him account for deeds, assign
hell, or heaven, hope I did well,
feeling blessed, I pray till then
Turning a new page, I invite
my loved ones to celebrate
the eighty-sixth spring of my life
