Final Reflections

As I lay here, my time grown thin

My thoughts drift to what might have been

A life well-lived, yet incomplete

One last wish, before my defeat

***

I wish for love, and all it brings

The warmth of heart, the joy it sings

For those I've loved, and those who care

To know my love, forever there

***

I wish for peace, in mind and soul

For all the hurt, to make whole

For all the wrongs, a chance to right

For one last chance, to set things right

***

I wish for hope, in darkest days

For strength to fight, for will to pave a way

For all the lost, a guiding light

For one last chance, to make things right

***

As I lay here, my time grown short

I take solace in this final thought

My wishes may not come to pass

But in the end, love will outlast

***

And though my body may decay

Love will live on, in every way

For in the hearts of those I knew

love and memory will always be true
