When I'm Gone

When I’m gone, the world would still be the same…

Do not cry, for I’m not really gone… just my name!


I might not live to see your stride,

But in your sparkling eyes, I would reside!

When you’d want to gossip at night,

Look at the stars; I’ll be right beside!


When you hear my voice,

& look around for my presence;

Sense within & rejoice,

In there, I leave my essence!


If you remember my jokes,

Laugh - it was meant for your smile, folks!

While you miss me in a celebration,

Sing & dance, that’s what I would have done!


When you need me at times tough,

for an advice good enough,

yeah well… I accept I was pretty smart ;)

To you now, I pass on the art!


When I’m gone, keep going,

With your every step I‘ll be moving!


Do know, you were a gift to my life,

& parting, cuts like a knife!

But we cannot elude this exile,

Lets meet it up with a smile!


Do not hold on to my things,

That’s not where my being clings;

Its in new rays, new springs,

In a soaring bird’s wings!


Keep my love as a souvenir in your heart,

& you'd never know I’m apart!

Do not mourn that I did'nt survive,

'Coz as long as you live, I’am alive!
