When my final days surround me

Will you take me on a celestial ride

See nature once, through your eyes?

When my final days confound me

Will you comfort with your touch so kind

Erase regrets, leave them behind?

Will you sit with me until I pass

Hold my hand until the last?

And smile upon my fading eyes

Wipe away tears I’ve cried?

And when that time finally comes

Will you promise me we’ll share a laugh

Dance naked in the full moon’s light

Then let me fade into the night?

If these things you can do for me

Then death will merely set me free

No worries left to hold me down

In your love eternity’s found
