All for them

Start the long goodbye,

wave already

when you see them coming

just to make sure

it will be done,

seeing you in good spirit

will please them,

smile so that

it will be captured

in a photograph

when you still can smile.

Hug, when people

still dare to approach you,

when the "death

is a contagious disease"

thought hasn't taken over.

Give them a good

final moment

when the pain is still controllable,

and then,

enter between the white sheets on the bed,

allow the tubes to be inserted,

wait, while death stays with you

as they all go away

to life, abandoning you

to the final moment

when the disease is in control.
