a poem -Swan song

                                Swan song
 it's time for me to go now,
My life has been so long,
it's time for me to sing now,
what will be :my swan song.

My seeds they are all set now,
my children are all grown,
my flower-bed is weeded,
my lawn is freshly mown.

My wishes are all made now
My dreams have all come true,
So now's the time to say, Dear,
one last farewell to you.

Do not be sad, my darling,
please do not shed a tear,
for I shall still be near you,
to whisper in your ear:
" My darling, I still love you, my love for you is true,
so, don't be sad & weep now,
there's so much else to do:
Go plant a little sapling
that'll grow into a tree
So that every leaf and blossom
will make you think of me.
go drink some cool rainwater
freshly rained down from the sky.
Go sit upon a mountain,
and watch the world go by.
Go listen to the children,
as the laugh & play.
Go listen to the wise man,
& darling, heed what he will say.

For me, my cloth is woven,
you now must weave your own.
Go out & live your life now,
I must leave you alone.

My eggs, they have all hatched now,
my races are all run,
My battles are all fought now,
for me the war is won.

My life down here is over,
my bells, they all are rung,
just one last task to do dear,
to get my Swan-song sung
