My life is winding itself down
And I know my time is coming soon
I have been blessed to have lived such a meaningful life
I have been blessed to know so many people
But I won’t be here any more
I have done all I wanted and more
I have no regret or desires
But I won’t be here to see you grow
I look at the spirit in your eyes
I feel the strength of your hands
In my hands
And I know you’ll have to grow up on your own
My life is winding itself down
I can feel it in my bones, in my organs, in my heartbeat.
I feel a peace.
It’s not coming today
Or the immediate tomorrow
But it’ll be soon enough.
And then you’ll have it to do.
You will find your own right
And know your own wrong from that right
And find your own wisdom that there is no wrong or right
And it’ll all take an age.
You will find your courage
And you will find your fears
And you will learn to find your courage
From within your fears
And that will take an age too.
You will learn to walk alone
And you will learn to walk with others
And you will learn to walk alone while walking with others
And all the ages shall be one.
My life it’s winding itself down
But it’s spent with you
Talking to you, learning with you
Walking with you, playing with you
All that you will want to ask, you already know
Look in to you and you’ll find it.
Farewell my children
And fare thee well
There is no tune
But your own
There is no voice in your head
But your own.
There is no life to live
But your own.
All you need to be is you.
