On the day I left you, I was strong. Age bore
no relevance to the vitality of my spirit.
On the day I left you, I was free. I had you in
my heart and the sun on my face.
On the day I left you, I was lucky. I had seen
my life continuing in the eyes of my children
and grandchildren.
On the day I left you, I was rich. There is no
greater wealth than the journey I shared with
my wife.
On the day I left you, I took love, happiness
and peace with me, and put pain and regret
aside.
On the day I left you, I left you each other, and
my love to bind you together.
Be sad for each other, but not for me.
On the day I left you…
I was loved.
