The following poem was written by a dying man on his death bed after three days of hanging on. His wife laid down beside him and as he felt her fall off to sleep, he picked up a note book and wrote these lines to her. Wow, how poignant, how sweet, how absolutely moving. Do you have this kind of love for your spouse?
Softly As I Leave You
Softly
I will leave you Softly
For my heart would break
If you should wake
And see me go
So I leave you
Softly
Long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour
For one more day
After all the years
I can't bare the tears
To fall So softly,
so softly
I will leave you
I will leave you there

I don't know if that's true but it's a beautiful song that has been sung by Elvis and Frank Sinatra.

could desire to assert i do take exhilaration in works of literature yet you choose a good editor because of the fact this would not carry something from the 1st line,sorry. save going however as long as you take exhilaration in it that's what writing is approximately.
