THISISJOHN

At thirty-five, soon six
I know some things for certain
My body aches more and
Death visits me more often
But I am at ease, I am
Less afraid to die
I have known love, deep
Eternal, and unending
I have fought for it
I do not desire others
I have been made full
I have known forgiveness
And anguish, been to the dark
And then into the light
I have known peace
I am no stranger to pain
I have lived my life fully
And released what I can
Here on this Earth
There is more, I know there is
But I can leave this life
With no discontent
