If I had but one final word to say, One word to speak with my last dying breath To all those there beside me as I lay Awaiting still, cold open arms of Death.. Your name would be the one word I would choose To put my life in introspective view. You are my inspiration and my muse. I am a better man for loving you. Then, as I bid the current world adieu As my God comes to stake his final claim My final thoughts will be of loving you My final breath will whisper out your name. These words you may rely upon as true. My thoughts will ever be of loving you. |

Okay, 'Deer one... no jokes, no wisecracks. *S* You've finally found a way to stop my sense of humor in its tracks... by writing a poem so lovely and loving I can only applaud. |
