As I close my eyes, I know their not opening again.
I take what I know will be my last breath.
I'm not afraid of death.
I've always known it was to come.
I'm content.
I laughed a lot.
Made others laugh a lot.
I was happy.
I was loved, and I knew how to love.
I learnt so much, and I hope taught even more.
This isn't the end.
Don't mourn for me, don't cry for me.
Because that will make both of us want to cry.
Live a better life than me, learn and teach.
Become the best person you could be.
Make both of us proud.
