May I go now?

Do you think the time is right?
May I say good-bye to pain-filled days
and endless long nights?
I�ve lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn�t want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go.
I really do.
It�s difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you�re sad and so afraid,
because I see your tears.
I�ll not be far,
I promise that, and hope you�ll always know
that my spirit will be close to you,
wherever you may go.
Thank you for loving me.
You know I love you too.
That�s why it�s hard to say good-bye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now, just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you�ll let me go today.
