A sonnet, for my family and friends.
I pen these few lines to leave behind me,
As excuse for all those I shall bear hence,
To express the simple love I owe thee,
That could make such prolong’d argument;
I have journeyed forth to the promised land
Of faith, unwillingly, but unafraid.
I’ll search for the eternal answers, and
Regret only the things I left unsaid;
I have paid the Lord the death He is due,
And found an end to this fragile life’s pain.
With last breath I proclaim my love for you,
And thus defeat death when that love remains.
Allow these brief words to ease your sadness,
And embrace this love to restore gladness.
