Don't count me out of life yet. <br />There's so much I must do. <br />I have to tell our babies how <br />I fell in love with you! <br /> <br />I have to let them know just how <br />you turned my world around. <br />They need to know the Heaven <br />you made sure that we had found. <br /> <br />Don't count me out of life yet. <br />There's so much I must see. <br />I want to visit the ocean floor <br />and I want you there with me! <br /> <br />So many lovely places <br />that we have never been. <br />One day we have to travel... <br />to gaze in wonder at Big Ben. <br /> <br />Don't count me out of life yet. <br />There's so much I must feel. <br />Our grandchilds tiny fingertips <br />as they grasp for what is real. <br /> <br />I'll be that sweet ol' Gramma <br />that I dreampt of all my life. <br />I'll feel sweet separation <br />as our youngest takes a wife. <br /> <br />Don't count me out of life yet. <br />There's so much I must say. <br />I love you just is not enough <br />to express my thoughts today.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-count-me-out-of-life-yet/
