The Final Sunset

The Final Sunset

That time when no more words will be spoken

No more battles fought

No trials left to overcome

The hugs that made many feel good

Gone

The smiles that filled you with reassurance and confidence

The smiles just because seeng you made them smile

Not there anymore

What will be your memories of those who loved you

When their light shines no more

Will you remember how they met your needs while neglecting their own

Or will you just remember that old person

Sleeping hours away

Who does not always remember everything you thought important

Did you find a little time just to sit with them

Or did you stay away because they were no long useful

To you and your way of life..

After all is said and done

Their light no longer shines

Their sun light sets for it's final time

Will you live with Memories

That hold no Shoulda's

Wishing you Woulda

When you knew you Coulda

Made their last days less alone and lonely

For some it's not to late to change their ways

Others no longer have the chance to change

I see many whose days grow shorter

And sadly their days have become lonely days

Filled only with Memories

As they await their final sunset
