Speak

by Ruby   Oct 12, 2005


You're seated by the window and looking out,
You smile at the birds,
That fly about.
You look so tired, life at its peak.
"Hello Shorty"
You painfully speak
I hug you closely, I rub your back.
I wanted to give you
The health you lacked.
I smile shyly, my voice sounding meek.
"Hello Shorty"
That's all i speak
We want to walk, to near and far
We want the moon
We want the stars
You walk the track, you make the creek
"Isn't it beautiful"
I heard you speak
I skip a stone, i smell the breeze
You look for koalas
You touch the trees
Your eyes are smiling, your face is weak
"I've lived my life"
No more do you speak
The day is bright, the sun shines clear
You've gone away
You've gone from here
A tear drops down my icy cheek
"Rest in Peace"
The preacher speaks.
