Disclaimer: I don't own the Golden Girls or any characters
I guess my time here is running short
I cannot leave without one final word, though
One final note
I just want to tell you girls that it's going to be okay
I may not be able to offer my guidance anymore
But I'm confident you'll all do fine on your own
Each of you is my daughter
A little piece of me
Together you complete the puzzle
Of all my wisdom and insanity
Dorothy, you're brilliant
If anyone's a teacher, it's you
It's not just kids you've taught
Because in a lot of ways
You taught me too
Rose, you're a character
Filled with unusual life experiences, it's true
But you have that aura of innocence
Something that most of us all lose
Sometimes it's good to stay a child
In whatever ways we can
Sure, they may call you simple-minded
But that's only because they don't really know
How to have fun anymore
Blanche, let's just say you're a real wild one
I've seen more men in our house
Than I've seen in New York City
I guess that's not all you are
You've got a good heart, kid
You don't always make the right choices, sure
But I can see how hard you try
You're a fighter, so I say
Keep on fighting
So, my girls, these are my final words
Of wisdom to you
Intelligence is great, but it's okay to be silly too
Try your best in whatever you do
Once last thing before I go
Save me a slice of cheesecake or two
I'll be waiting for it and all of you
On the other side
