When I Say Goodbye

It’s my last day on Earth

And I lived such a good life

Now it’s time to say goodbye

With thoughts and memories of mine

I look back in my head, reflecting back in time

To a little hill sitting in the night

I’m snuggled in a sweatshirt

Looking up at the stars

If I squint, I can see Mars

In a cabin full of friends

Perched on a little pier

Reading and talking

And watching the waves appear

To a little street I loved

All colourful and curled

I sit on a wooden bench

Looking out at the world

Walking through the park

When a furry creature sniffs my hand

One scratch behind the ear

And we became best friends

To a time back long ago

When I waddled not knee high

We lined up for a race

And I dashed to the finish line

Till I fell and hit my face

But a winner was I and I shall not forget

The victorious feeling that I felt

But now it’s late at night and I’m snuggled deep in bed

Curled up by the fire with a book by my head

I seem to be dozing off as my wakefulness is slipping

And the words have started blurring

They are twisting and turning

Until they look a bit like stars

Now I’m travelling far and fast

Watching the galaxies whirl past

When the journey is over and I open my eyes

The sight before me will be impossible to describe

It was my last day on Earth

And I am glad I said goodbye

But this new place here

Is really quite fine
