When I am gone
it will be too late
to turn back the hands of god
and unseal my fate.


Frozen in a moment
are the hands of the clock
when I die will
it still tick-tock?
Will the bustling cities continue on
their quest?
Or will they to
be laid to rest?


When I am gone
it will be too late
for you to say one last
"I love You."  You
just had to WAIT!

Ah, good.  This made me think of the
old, old song...
about the grandfather clock...
stopping when the old man died...

I'm enjoying your work, rkcraig!

This is very good. Sometimes people wait until it is too late to say it. I loved this poem.

one should never wait to express their feelings, especially if they are of a positive nature.
