May I go now, do you think the time is right?
I've lived my life and a loyal friend I've tried to be, can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might, but something seems to draw me now, to a warm and loving light.
I want to go, I really do. It's difficult to stay, but I will try as best I can to live just one more day. To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears, I know you are sad and so afraid, because I can see your tears.
I will not be far, I promise that and I hope you will always know, that my spirit will be close to you where ever you may go.
Thank you so much for loving me. You know I loved you too, that's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this chapter with you.
Hold me now, just one more time and let me hear you say, because you cared so much for me, you'll let me go today.

Beautiful and insightful, Tracy, but difficult to read with tears welling up. Cynthia
