final words

rarely do you hear words
on a death bed such as
i wished i had worked more,
stayed longer
at the office,
trimmed the hedges
cleared the attic.
instead it's where's that
child of mine?
where's the love of my
life, i need to feel her lips,
touch her hand,
know her heart before
my eyes close. please,
just one more time.
