My Final Desire

I wrote this poem in Mach of 2011 after being told of the death of one of my life-long friends, I quite literary knew from his birth. It is by far my best poem, if not my best written work.

When this life hath flown from me
And Death’s sweet kiss I taste.
I will but one desire have
And this it will be:

Do not morn me over much
For I’ve found peace,
Serenity,
A place where I belong.
And here I’ll wait till one day,
Reunited, delighted we will be.

And if you must then morn me still,
Do so with a smile.
Live each moment to the max,
Celebrate each day.

For soon your turn it will be,
To kiss goodbye your friends
And family.
