Going

As I close  my eyes, I know their not opening again.

I take what I know will be my last breath.

I'm not afraid of death.

I've always known it was to come.


I'm content.

I laughed a lot.

 Made others laugh a lot.

I was happy.

I was loved, and knew how to love.

I learnt so much, and hope I taught even more.


This isn't the end.

Don't mourn for me, don't cry for me.

Beacuse that will sadden both of us.

Live a better life than me.

Learn and teach.

Become the best person you could be.

Make both of us proud.
