When I leave this life before you do
Do as I please, I ask of you
Let them know you love me
Let them know you’re mine
While that may not have happened in this lifetime
Then that would put my heart at peace
Let go of pains and heartaches
That secrecy brought me so
In the final resting place
The what-ifs and must-have-beens
They all with me will go
And one day when memory fails you
Please look up in the sky
I am the cloud above you
The star that shines so bright
I am the sun welcoming your day
And the same one kissing you good night


I really love the last 6 lines of this poem. It is very real to me.
This wonderful poem is very comforting to me. I feel the presense of my love one, though no longer here, every day of every year. Thank you for posting it.
Thanks for your comments, Anna & Tom. I was not confident in posting but thought I need it published somewhere. This site is the perfect place!
What a beautiful poem, I also love the ending. Do you have any more like this?
Thanks – I worked on and posted another one but not sure if it would have the same appeal.
