Last words are solemn and rare,
A final chance to show we care.
To say goodbye, to make amends,
To speak of love and share our friends.
Last words can be a comfort too,
To those who stay and bid adieu.
They offer peace and closure sweet,
A final gift to those we meet.
But last words are hard to find,
When pain and fear cloud the mind.
Yet even then, a simple phrase,
Can bring us close in loving ways.
So let us cherish every word,
Each sentence spoken, each unheard.
In the end, our words will be,
The lasting legacy of you and me.
