                     When I am gone !!
        
                When I am gone release me
                And let me go I have so many
                Things to see and so you must'nt
                Lie to yourself to me with tears
                Be happy that we had so many beautiful years,

                 I give to you my love you can
                 Only guess how much you gave to
                 Me in happiness I thank you for
                 The love you each have shown but
                 Now it's time I travel on - Alone

                 So grieve for me a while if you
                 Must then let your heart be comforted
                 By trust it's only for a while that
                 We must part so bless the memories
                 Within your heart

                 I wont be far away, for life gose on
                 So if you need me call I will come
                 Though you can not see me nor touch me I
                 Will be near and if you lisson with
                 In your heart

                 You will hear all of my love
                 Around you soft and clear and
                 Then when you must come this away
                 Alone I will greet you with a smile
                 And say WELCOME HOME !

note         thank you to my friends who helped me wright this poem my dear friend had been killed in a car acenent and i was havein a very hard time in copping with her death so we sat down about 5 years ago and we wrote this it has been published in a book and news papers all over the usa and i left it as auther unknown well i thought it was time i told everyone that it was me who wrote it because then at the time it just killed me to even say the name of the poem and now it dose not hurt to much to read it or talk about her thay even read it at her memorial and i was so hurt and that was why i had left it auther unknown i hope this poem is ok and my other poems may not be as good couse i had no help with them like i did with this one.

The sentiments expressed in your poem are very lovely Candy.    

I would only recommend you do something like the following with the format...

                 When I am gone
        
When I am gone release me and let me go
I have so many things to see
Please don't remember me with tears
Be happy we had so many beautiful years

I give to you my love you can only guess how much You gave to me in happness
I thank you all for the love you each have shown but now it's time I travel on alone

So greave for me a while if you must
Then let your heart be comforted by trust
It's only for a while that we must part
so bless the memories within your heart

I wont be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me call I will come
Though you can't see me nor touch me
I will be near
And if you listen within your heart
you will hear
all of my love around you soft and clear

And then when you must come this away alone
I will great you with a smile and say WELCOME HOME !

naynay:

I noticed this is your first post and realize that this poem is of a very personal nature to you.  I will be happy to critique your poem but before I do so I want to be sure you understand the guidelines of this forum.  Please give them a read and if you still would like me to give the poem a detailed critique I will.

Like allan, I was touched by the sentiments in your poem.

Hi naynay,

I want to add my "Welcome to CA." You have expressed beautiful sentimentality here and I think these things can be extremely difficult to write without going overboard. Jim has already offered a critique but I still want to suggest you make use of your spell checker.

Will come back to this one later and hope to see more from you.

Pete
