Dying
by Helen George
When the going gets rough and it's time to let go,
I'll think of Montana - the land I love so;
I'll let my mind drift o'er the greatest of places -
Her majestic mountains and wide open spaces.
Then I'll hop on the back of my faithful steed
And happily go where he lovingly leads;
We'll race with the wind - o' sweet ecstasy,
Til at last I am home and my spirit is free.
[Written November 2004. I wrote this for my brother who was dying of cancer. He always said he wanted to live in Montana; sadly, he never even got to visit there.]
