Some people say,
life ends up this way
we all end up alone
living in some nursing home
I plan to be alive and well
when I am old enough to die
this is the optimism of an old soul who is young
I know I can die
any time
still we all hope to be happy at the end
to have someone, besides the staff
besides family
a love into old age
and into the grave…
I know what I feel are the doubts of a young man
along the lines of the vision of an older man
knowing something about life, as I do…
living alone is to suffer
dying alone without a companion soul
is sorrow…
