May I go now?

Do you think the time is right? May I say goodbye to
pain-filled days and endless painful nights? I've lived
my life and done my best, an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free?
I did not 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're sad and are afraid because
I see your tears. I'll not be far - - I promise
that - - and hope you'll always know that my spirit will
be close to YOU too, that's why it's hard to say goodbye,
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!
