MY LAST GOODBYE

by Glen

I am in my middle seventies now
i dont know where ,i dont know how
a lot of my friends have gone to that city in the sky
i ask myself why have they got to die
i still feel so young at heart
when my grandchildren play i want to take part
i have had my problems,like everyone
when i am ready my work will be done
what i have had as been a good life
backed up with a great wife.
When the time does come
i would like to say goodbye to everyone
which would be hard to do
so to all my friends i will say goodbye now
i have enjoyed your company
you have been a pleasure to me
when the time does come, raise your glass
and say that man went out with class
i hope to go on for a few more years
and still drink a few more beers
thank you everyone for being my friend

by JPerry1980 on Thursday, February 05, 2009 (00:19:32)
Glen, I would be happy to raise my own beer in a proud "Salut" to anyone who has managed to be a husband, a father, and a grandfather within their lives -- three of the most proud careers any gentleman could ever wish. I hope you have many more years of happiness in your life, for every day is a new mystery, a new opportunity. Thank you for this piece, but I hope it's not needed for many, many years to come. -- j.

Tis a beautiful write, Glen, truly a goodbye poem with class. I for one will keep you at your word, to be around for many years to come. You are the heart and soul of gp for me. I raise my glass to wish you health and happiness, and the same for your wife and family. Cheers to you, Glen. With feeling, my friend. Mary Ann

Glen, I thought you were going to deliver terrible news here and you gave my heart a couple extra beats there for a minute.. I know some one as sweet as you has many more hearts to soothe and smiles to put on others faces before it is your time but when it's time Angels will whisper your name and spread the word that you are coming with harps afire.. But not for years yet my sweet.. Blessings Melly

Hey Glen..i dont know u but seems like u have a lot of good, caring friends..a blessing of life. But if ur gonna go..go, no good-byes needed. the ones u left behind endure the misery right? ur last good-bye just adds oil to the fire. thats just my point of view. not meaning to offend. peace.

Hello Glen! I've just discovered your work and will read some more of it when I get the chance, as I really felt the emotions of this, which means it is a good write in my book.
However, shoot...only in your mid seventies??!! Why you could have a quarter of a century ahead of you to live to the fullest!!
Great work!

Glen,

I almost missed this one-perish the thought-
what a wonderful poem with heartfelt expressions. I totally understand your point here---sometimes I think I should write my own obit well in advance and then make a list of everyone I care about--but so many, just like you--
