When You Think Of Me Poem by Kim Hilliker

When You Think Of Me

Rating: 4.8


The time has come for me to go
It's time now to move on
‘Tis the end of watching sunsets
And seeing morning's dawn
Don't shed tears on my depart
Or mourn the death that's mine
Just merrily please celebrate
With eat and drink and wine
You and I shall meet again
At another time and place,
And our union will be marked
By a familiar smiling face
When you speak of me until then,
Don't glorify my name;
Rather yet, be honest,
And keep my memory the same
As for now what you must do
Is keep on keeping on
Without dwelling upon the reasons
As to why it is I'm gone
Crying, mourning and dwelling
You see are so mundane
And only prevent my departure
From this material plane
So here, I humbly ask
That you allow my spirit to go free
By simply smiling inwardly
At the times you think of me

A very nice poem, Kim. I especially like the way you ended it: So here, I humbly ask That you allow my spirit to go free By simply smiling inwardly At the times you think of me

A beautiful poem Kim. leaving has so many departures, staying so many memories, tomorrow so many possibilities, if we take first no return steps
