May I God Now?

Don’t you think the time is right?

May I say goodbye to pain filled days,

And endless nights?

I’ve lived my life and done my best,

An example I 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 are sad and are afraid

Because I see your tears.

I’ll not be far, I promise that,

And hope you always know

That my spirit will be close to you

Wherever you may go.

Thank you for loving me,

You know I loved 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.
