I Will Need You (poem)

The time is coming
When I will need you
My friend
My lover
My buddy.

My pain may be great or not...
My struggles with loss or loneliness strong or mild
My sense of humour intact or shattered
My spirit calm or irremediably/irredeemably fractured.
I may well be scared, useless, in pain.
I will no longer be there for you...

THAT is when I will NEED you more than even these words can say...

To hold my hand tenderly,
To smile,
To speak gently,
To wet my lips,
To wish me well,
To pray for peace,
To ease my passage,
To close my eyes to this world.

Please...
be there...
