My Dearest Friends 1949.........When I Am Gone Poem by shirani ibrahim

As far as my eyes can dip into the distant, I do clearly see
There are shadows silently thats fast approaching me
And to those dearest friend when i leave behind I want you to know
You were the best of blessing from Heaaven above and more
You've always shared my every single deepest thoughts
And in my struggle confusion its just you I finally did sought
Yes now i am old and wise to words that means little to me
As the cold biting winds carelessly blow right through me
And someday soon in the mist of the fast moving time
They surely will boldy ask you if you knew the long gone me
please smile and say that you were a great friend of mine
I can see and feel the dark shadows now fast enveloping me
As insensitive words, mails were frequently tossed around me
And the sadness cannot be lifted from my tired and ageiing eyes
Even thoiugh my days are numbered I have still not got any wise
I want you to know you've shared my confused hours
and have been the steadfast loyal and the strongest power
When i was lost alone stumbling and nowhere to go
You helped me travel this far and i surely did calmly make it so
Please remember that you were a greatest friend of mine
As you filled the journey with a radiance that was ever so fine
Soon the final curtain will fall before my very weary eyes
Kindly Remember that you were a loyal friend who was wise.
