You no longer read or see my name

Fret not, for upon these still waters, I can cast no blame,

For I have merely written the closing lines in life’s final and worn page.

So light a candle or two, just for me… if you so kindly will,

And place it with care upon an empty place upon your windows sill,

Then say a prayer that I may receive my abiding grace,

For now my words and deeds, along with remaining dreams,

Have in the quite of night, just simply passed away.

So smile a little smile, and think kindly if you will,

And know that time has made its call,

And this life called me, ....has been fulfilled.
