On This Last Day of My Life

Tomorrow is promised to no one;

I have lived a full life

Better than most people

Longer than a majority of my cohort

More fortunate than many

Blessed beyond expectations

With deep gratitude for undeserved Grace;

I have not occupied space and wasted oxygen.

In a life of blessings and achievements;

My dreams were not my master,

Nor my thoughts ever my goals.

Met often the triumphs and disasters twins,

Both imposters never to be trusted.

And many liars and toxic friends,

Twisting my truths, dealing in lies.

Doubted by friends and foes alike,

Often misunderstood and hated,

I try to fathom their doubting,

Returning not their hate and deeds,

Holding fast trust, honesty, and loyalty.

Life for me was no bed of roses;

I remember the pain of losses

When what I built crashed,

As I pick up the broken pieces,

Persevering with indomitable will

To rebuild my life once again

With the bricks from life lessons

To await my turn passed already gone

To chase again the elusive fame and fortune.

By choice, I walk alone

With solitude as my constant companion.

Even as I walk with crowds and kings,

I never lose the common touch;

None count too much with me

So that neither friends nor foes can hurt me.

I keep to my values, faith, and virtue

To live fully the unforgiving life

Till the last day at the end of my time.

Age has caught up with me, my Love,

Time is not on my side;

Each day I live can be my last

As I regard myself as a dying man.

Each day I need to tell you

How much I love you, my dearly Beloved;?

Every night I want to tell you again

That I love you

And I am much happier

Ever since you came into my life.?

Are you also happier with me? ??

Every day I want to remind you repeatedly of my love for you;

Of how much you mean to me,

Just in case I may never see you again.

My only regret on my last day

Is not being able to hear you say enough

That you also loved me.??

The lingering thought longs

As my life and mortality ebb away.

You are my Soulmate, my constant companion, my comfort,

My pillow, my embrace, my friend, my lover, my Eve, my all forever.

Be by my side as we journey together

Till the end of our times, my Beloved.

Tomorrow is promised to none of us, especially me.?

Love me daily each day, my dearest Soulmate,

For today could be my last.

Love me more when I am gone.

I never cease thanking Him daily

Throughout the day for bringing you into my life,

To share the many seasons of our lives.

Goodbye for today, my Dearest.

God willing, I shall see you again,

Otherwise, please forget me not.

Should I not return, my Darling,

Remember my love.
