My Final Days

 




“My Final Days”

 

 

Blue and yellow, silver and gold.

I’m only 62 years old.

 

I joined Hospice living care,

I’m up all-night sucking air!

 

I’m a smoker from years gone past.

Months and weeks go by, too fast.

 

I can’t believe I’m here today!

Ready to live my final days.

Happy Birthday!

 

William J. Roney III

I must offer my sincere and

I must offer my sincere and contrite apology for missing the point of this poem entirely.  I was ill at the time (I remember the day precisely, because it was my late father's birthday), and I failed to give the poem the kind of comment it deserves.  Please forgive me.  I am, and will continue to be, praying for you; not only the prayer of Jabez, but also Hebrews 4:16.  Again, please accept my apology, and please forgive my incompetence.  I am not nearly as efficient a reader as I sometimes think I am.

Thank you Starward

I value your opinon towards my work, I dropped out of school

because it was too much for me to handle. I tried different jobs, God was behind me

letting me live my life. I'm a poet because I prayed for something to do and went back to school

to learn how to write, God showed me the way to this day. Now, God is calling me home why I don't know!

I think of you as a friend to keep me on the right path concerning my poetry, someone can learn from me and how I write.

I served my purpose here, I did it my way. Now I have to answer for my actions, I like you because I did it my way. 

Thank you

William J.
