my last goodbye wish

this was inspired for me to write by my favourite poem and it is called ""the last review"" by Henry Lawson a famous Aussie poet. this is my version of my last review or my goodbye to my loved ones.

dont cry for me

when i arise to go

when you only may

feel my spirit so

but this i do know

my hands will be cold

my skin will be white

my eyes closed shut

but ill see the one true light

please dont weep and sit

and toil yourself so

dont wail and scream

remember i told you this so

just know that i am with you always

watching you from afar

but so very near

and in your life

ill grin and see you growing older

year by year

ill wish to touch your hair your hand

but all i can do

will be to love you so

ill watch you look at pictures or such

of me and you when we were young

my babes in arms

i love you so

so dont weep for me

when its time to go

its all a plan

and rightly so

ive lived a life

seen many a fair share of sunrises

sunsets

oceans and lands and mountains too

ive lived my life seen lots of beauty so real

and yes I know

some days have been  oh so bad

but on the whole some mostly good

i cant complain

ive had a good life

promise this dont weep for me

dont waste a second on that

or youll be in strife

just live your life

and remember your

mum had a rather good life

Author's Note

this is not a suicide poem its a poem that i wish that my family will read when i do finally take my last breath or if i suddenly die.

Reviews

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

Henry Lawsons poem my favourite is called The Last Review I love it and read it a lot.
It mentions a lot of his poems in their so he quotes them in his last review his poem on his deathbed or whenever he may have written this. This is to me an epic poem everyone should read young and old
