attempt at organization

I wrote the following within the last three years, and somewhere in my records there is a dated copy of this. Since the exact date is of little or no consequence I will go copy and paste this particular writing. The idea in the form of a thought came to me one day and I postponed exploring the thought for about two weeks. The thought seemed to be perhaps a self prophecy that indeed one day will be filled, but because of the title/thought/idea, it seemed more imminent. Usually when an idea will persist I will follow through and see what is behind it. Oftentimes, actually more times and not, not knowing what might be there. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome that follows.The thought and title of this writing is my day is done my time has come.

My day is done my time has come is a thought that came to me  and  I wondered if it was my time to leave.
 Now  I  ask  that question  as I have asked myself so many questions in the past.
I don’t know when my time will come and I do not know that this will be the day,
but just in case goodbye to the ones I  have touched and that  have touched me along the way.
Without you in my life it would not have been a life, just thoughts with no embrace,
feelings of love with no one to give  love to.
Thank you for letting me in your heart and for coming inside of mine.
Thank you for loving me for this short time.
I will stay as long as I can and until it is time to go I will hold you close to my heart and soul.
I will remember that you cared and that you helped me when I felt broken and you wouldn’t let me go.
You were my friend, and I was yours,  we laughed and we cried, we spent what time we were allowed together, now that time has passed my day is done, my time has come.
The thought comes back, it has stayed with me.
Maybe it is my time to leave.
No one knows when our time will end, the blink of an eye, then eternity begins.
I will see you  when your day is done  love will never end.
Don’t cry , try not to be sad, remember that we loved one another in the time we had, and nothing can take that away
 Love was the light in the dark, the smile on our face,the warmth in our hearts, the laughs in our days.
My day is done , my time has come, but that is not for me to say, but just in case, goodbye to the ones I love and that have loved me along the way.

Yesterday I walked for approximately 5 miles in Sabino Canyon here in Tucson, the video and a few pictures are from that walk.I'm currently rounding up my writings from 1968 to present and getting them into some sort of a recognizable outline and collection. My purpose is to give a copy to my son and to my daughter. Organization not being one of my strong points, I'm working toward becoming better at that and staying more focused on the task at hand. Since this task has been delegated to me by my own hand, I will be flexible and forgiving and not too concerned about self-imposed time pressure. This of course leaves the door open to lack of focus, but it seems that this life for me and I suspect for others as well.
