So much for just one Man


I am ready to meet my maker
or whatever will come next
I don't even mind the big black hole
where my bones and flesh will rest.
I have lived a life that's been fulfilled
In so very many ways
I have had the chance to live and breathe
and now have these words to say…
Be grateful for every waking hour
and for the comfort of night-time shroud
be grateful for the warming sun
and rainfalls darkened cloud
be happy for the smile you see
and for the smile that you return
be happy when you need to cry
for ever lesson so hard learned.
There have been many contradictions
learning to love and hate
also many friends that have come and gone
…and those that would not wait.
Always changing days and changing ways
nothing ever staying the same
just heart felt thoughts from what's been taught
and of course… my name.
so I'm grateful for every waking hour
and I smile as often I can
the things I have seen and the feelings I've felt
so much for just one man.
