One day soon I will fly away
Into northern skies
To foreign lands and foreign people
I hope it’s you who waves me goodbye
I hope it’s you who waves me home.
One day soon I will sit with you
Tell you my travel tales
Over tea and sugar biscuits
I hope its you who laughs at my antics
My moments good and bad.
One day soon I will fall ill
I hope its you who sits beside me
Holding my hand, comforting me
As the light ebbs and the darkness encroaches
I’d like it to be you with me then.
One day soon I will be carried out
In procession to a well loved song
I hope its you who guides my way
Watches as they lower me down
I’d like it that you saw me safe.
One day soon you will be looking back
I hope there are quiet moments
When you smile at a past memory
A faded photo sitting above your fire
I’d like that you recall my face.

A journey that we’re all bound to take one day. We should all be lucky enough to have someone to ease that day. 🙂
Most certainly Linda, thanks for stopping by.
lost for words … may you be blessed with a peaceful journey 🙂
Thank you Bee, I hope it to be peaceful but exciting as well.

There are many journeys that we will be encountering and for you some very soon. This was beautiful Michael.
Thank you Jenny, thankfully I know you weren’t referring to the second last “one day soon”.
Noooo I would never. 😝
A journey that is planned yet entirely in our hands how we chose to make it. Excellent thoughts as always, Michael.
Thank you so much praj, that’s a very thoughtful comment.
The journey would be comforting indeed knowing there was some remained in the mind. I once told my wife that hers was the last face I wanted to see. So far so good. Inspiring Michael.
Thanks John I hope that wish is realised.
To be remembered by someone dear and to not pass alone. Can’t ask for much more 🙂
So true. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Beautiful.
Thank you Deborah.
Beautiful through & through…

Powerfully written and expressed – in so many ways Michael 🙂
Thank you Mercy, always appreciate you stopping by.
((Lump in throat)) That was beautiful, Michael.
Well it’s only the first stanza that’s about to come true.
