Dignity

                                                                          DIGNITY

I'm begging, I'm pleading

Can't you see I'm on my knees

There's no cure for my illness

Just let me go please

Put an end to all my suffering

Put a halt to all my pain

I've learnt everything I've had to

I've nothing more to gain

I'm ready to cash in my chips

In this game that we call life

I'm now ready for eternal sleep

No more agony, no more strife

Be it needle that does the deed

Or pill I have to swallow

Just know I died happy

In pity please don't wallow

Let me die with dignity

How I leave is up to me

Just let me gaze into your eyes one last time

Till I no longer see

Dignity. That's all we ask for in our old age that we die with dignity, on our own terms. Not a long drawn out spiteful death, a kind one. Many people will be able to relate to your heartfelt words. Many who have lost loved ones in undignified circumstances or are going through that journey. Well written George. Moving lines.

Glad you liked it. Been so busy with my daughters school and it's proposed closure that I haven't really had much time to do any ditty's

Never a easy death.
"Let me die with dignity
How I leave is up to me
Just let me gaze into your eyes one last time
Till I no longer see"
The above lines. Maybe a good death. Last view should be of love. Thank you George for sharing the amazing poetry.

Glad you liked it. Didn't take that long to come up with which is the way I like it.
