FAREWELL TO ALL
October 20, 1918~~October 27, 2007
I THINK MY TIME IS COMING CLOSE.
I CAN ALMOST FEEL OLD FATHER TIME.
I'M NOT PHYSICALY TOO BAD OFF,
IT'S JUST THAT I FEEL IM BEING LEFT BEHIND.
MOST ALL MY OLD FRIENDS ARE GONE YOU SEE,
AND NOW I'M JUST MARKING TIME.
MY HOUR GLASS IS RUNNING LOW,
EVEN GETTING INTO BED A QUITE A CLIMB.
I LOOK TO HEAVEN AND SAY TO GOD,
IT'S BEEN SO MANY YEARS.
I'M JUST TIRED OF TAKING BREATHS,
AND MEMORIES NOW JUST TURN TO TEARS.
I HAVE TO THANK GOD FOR A WONDERFUL LIFE,
EVEN IN SADNESS I LEARNED A LOT.
HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO UNDERSTAND,
THAT I'M JUST ONE BUT GREAT I'M NOT.
NOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO SAY FAREWELL
TO A WONDERFUL LIFE HERE ON EARTH,
I'LL BOW MY HEAD AND SAY "AMEN",
AND THANK GOD FOR MY MEAGER WORTH.
SO TO ALL MY FRIENDS, NEAR AND FAR,
WE NEVER WILL DEPART.
I'LL KEEP YOU EVER IN MY MEMORIES,
AND ALWAYS IN MY HEART.
YOUR OLD FRIEND LES.
