The Ones I Love

 

If I had it my way
Before I’d leave this place
It would be to be surrounded by the ones I love
Because at the end of this journey
Nothing would be more perfect
Than to have a send off by the ones I love

If I had a choice
And be given the chance
I’d smile on my way out amidst tears and goodbyes
Because I’d feel in my heart
That I lived a good life
Feeling happy the road led to a peaceful demise

But most of all
If I had it my way
On my last day before I leave this place
Is to feel your caress
Like I have all these years
To close my eyes and for a last time
                                              feel your hand on my face
