Kick The Bucket

There is an old Chinese saying

“We won’t cry until we see the coffin”.

Don’t let regrets satiate within

When now you can make a change

‘cuz I'm still in yer range.

Let not when I'm 6 feet under

Searching me, you’ll stumble.

I can't be there physically

And I doubt even mentally,

To bolster you with comfort

With my utmost effort –

then, tears then will mean nothing.

My time fer you… everything and anything

Won’t comprehend the splendor

In pages written with favor

Two souls be blest till forever

Be separated by time never.

Our closeness treasured everlasting.
