I am gone now… I am not here
For the flesh… was left
Of what you… all loved so dear.
I lived the life...I was meant to live
And gave it all…that in my life could give.
Those of fifty years…in song and dance
All of which now…seems but happen-stance.
Don’t look for me here…for I have gone away
Never to return…my earthly stay.
I gave you all… of what I had to give
So let me now rest….and you go on and live.

I would like to translate this poem
Poignant, completely enthralling, so tenderly sad. I love the transparency of your lines and the emotions you conveyed so beautifully, it was like you were writing about me.
