Upon My Deathbed- A Poem by David Ritter

If I’m unable to write again,
for my doomed world will soon pass by,
I feel compelled to pen a few lines,
which may fall under your teary eye.

Darling, my love for you is deathless,
for-it shall ever know no end.
Forgive my faults and times I’ve hurt you,
how thoughtless and foolish I have been.

Yet, you were always there for me,
even if I was the one to blame.
When my last gasp of breath escapes me,
it will be whispering your sweet name.

If the dead can come back to this earth,
and spark unseen around those they love.
You shall know that I will be with you,
bringing love for you to take hold of.

I’ll be with you in the brightest day,
and even in the darkest of night.
Amidst your blissful scenes, sad hours,
in spirit, I’ll be clutching you tight.

Don’t be grief-stricken when I am gone;
allured by your everlasting charm.
I’ll always be near, my precious love,
waiting in heaven with open arms.
