Day by day I lose

The blush of my cheeks
The spark of my eyes
And the glow of my skin
One by one the strands of my
hair
Bid goodbye to my scalp
My skeleton peeps from within
and
Craves to leave
The frail epithelial confines
I yearn to feel the naked
touch
Of precious sunbeams and
soothing breeze
This silly tongue drools for
a morsel of
Simple homemade meal that I’m
forbidden to relish
I feel the melting candle of
my life
With each breath I inhale
How I wish I’d felt thankful
for the little blessings
Which I never counted
In the list of bounties I was
blessed with
My departing life taught me
How beautiful is the
simplicity of life!
How important it is to love
The way you are
And the things you own…….!
