Step up here on the kerb with me
Step up here, let me have my say
Is there any reason for me to stay?
Is there a reason to stay?
Is there any reason? Any reason?
Is there any reason for me to stay?
Before I step on that bus
And it’s the end of us
Is there any reason to stay?
A sunny day on that village street
On that sunny village street
I had a million reasons for you
A million reasons for you to stay
A million reasons. A million reasons
A million reasons for you to stay
Now a lifetime later
And a world away
Now a long, long way away
In a hospice room the sun shone through
But the robins had all flown away
You’d another question to ask of me
A different question that day
Different question that day
I’m so tired that I can’t go on
I’m just too tired to carry on
If I step beyond is it Okay with you?
Is it Okay if I cannot stay?
It’s Okay with you? It’s Okay with you?
It’s Okay if I step away?
Step away?
Step up here with me
Step up, let me have my say
Is there a reason for me
Any reason to stay?

Glad to see a poem from you Gion after a long interval.
Too many questions in this poem.
No use dilly dallying.
Better to step on and be done with it
Best wishes
Kusum
My Wife hung on to say her goodbyes to family and friends
but she grew just too tired and asked me “Is it OK with you if I go to next life soon?”
The poem/song lyrics are the start and end of our world
Revised version. Hope this fits best with the music.
So sorry to hear of the real
facts.
I would have said ‘ No it is not Okay to go away, find half a reason to stay’.
but goodbyes , I guess mark the way , sometimes it is okay to go away.
Away, away from all the pain and distress.
