Speak

You're seated by the window and looking out,
You smie at the birds,
That fly about.
You look so tired, life at its peak,
"Hello Shorty"
you painfully speak.
I hug you closely, I rub your back.
I wanted to give you,
The health you lacked.
I smile shyly, my voice sounds meeke.
"Hello Shorty"
That's all i speak.
We wan to walk, to near and far,
We want the moon,
We want the stars.
You walk the track, you make the creek,
"Isn't it beautiful"
I heard you speak.
I skip a stone, I smell the breeze,
You look for koalas,
You touch the trees.
Your eyes are smiling, your face is weak.
" I've lived my life"
No more you speak.

The day is bright, the sun shines clear,
You've gone away,
You've gone from here.

A tear drops on my icy cheek,
"Rest in Peace"
The preacher speaks.
