Teach Me To Die

Unknown

Sunlight filters through my window,

Falling from the sky,

Time slips like a silent stranger,

Softly passing by.

Life goes on in busy circles,

Leaving me behind.

Memories like portraits,

Fill the attic of my mind.

Teach me to die,

Hold on to my hand.

I have so many questions,

Things I don’t understand.

Teach me to die,

Give all you can give.

If you teach me of dying,

I will teach you to live.

I know that it isn’t easy,

Seeing me this way.

And it hurts to watch me,

Lying here day after day.

But have no fear of parting

For the faith that knows no pain.

Don’t be afraid to say goodbye,

I know we’ll meet again.

Teach me to die,

Hold on to my hand.

I have so many questions,

Things I don’t’ understand.

Teach me to die,

Give me all that you can give.

If you teach me of dying,

I will teach you to live.
