In the quiet of the night,
As I lay in my bed,
Thoughts of my future
Swirl around in my head.
What if I end up alone,
In a nursing home one day?
What if no one is there,
When I take my final breath and pass away?
The thought of dying alone,
Terrifies me to my core,
As I imagine my final moments,
Without anyone I adore.
Will I be forgotten,
Just a name on a wall?
Will my life have meant nothing,
As I take my final fall?
The fear of dying alone,
Is a heavy weight to bear,
As I hope that someone will be there,
To hold my hand and show they care.
So I cherish the moments now,
With family and friends,
Hoping that when my time comes,
My fear will come to an end.
