When I'm Gone Poem by Lyn Paul

When I'm Gone

Rating: 4.9


When I'm Gone
Who will wake you
Who will answer to you all
Who will clean your clothes
Catch You,
Catch you...

When You fall


When I'm Gone
Will you think
That I answered to your every demand
Will you wish...
That I hadn't
And That you had....
Held out your hand


When I'm Gone
Will you visit
Will you reminise my way
Will you see
My oddball Life
And laugh with me everday


When I'm Gone
Will...
You please realise
That life, Is just not worth dying for
We must smell the roses
Feel the wind
And appreciate every moment
Just so must more


So when I'm gone
Just remember
To knock on every door
Take every opportunity
Life brings you
Eat that apple
Right down to that core


So....


When I'm Gone
I want to be thrown
Out to sea
By someone who
Has laughed with me

With loud rock n roll
And the smell of wine
Off the shore
In Our great sunshine

Who will wake you and who will think good and take care? Very nicely asked in poetic mood. Wonderful presentation really.

Heartfelt poem Lyn. I can see the painful tears flowing through this poem. Beautiful message, we should appreciate every moment while living itself. But many of them realise its worth after one of them is gone. Beautiful flow of words. Loved reading it. Thank you Lyn for your positive words, really its an inspiration for me.

Your thoughts on 'When I'm Gone' are very touchy. We often are not aware how messy our lives would be when either of the spouses won't be there! 'Who will wake you Who will answer to you all Who will clean your clothes' - are some of the small mundane works that are oft forgotten, but realized when the one to do these is no more there. 'When I'm Gone Will... You please realise That life, Is just not worth dying for We must smell the roses Feel the wind And appreciate every moment' - Yes, I fully agree! In 'Just so must more', will it be 'much' in place of 'must'? Over all, a nice poem indeed!
