When I die I want to feel the look of your eyes I want their touch warming my soul’s core The caress of your soft hands even more And pray even beyond to hear your sighs You beyond all have made me who I am You will live and you’ll be in my dreams I’ll need you to visit the beach scenes As we did when once we crunched the sand No reason for you to struggle or strive We’ll have eternity; you’ll hear my poem And I’ll watch you where e’er you may roam I want you to bask in my love and to live I’ll feel your love, and the soft of your hair Know our love will live, that I’ll always be there Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

Somehow, someway, although He promises us so much in His Kingdom, I somehow believe we still take the very best with us... and this just goes to prove that I am not alone in my thinking... well done Mr. Yeats! |

Bill--This IS a very touching poem.. and you know I agree with the sentiment...Love does not stop against the wall of death, but lives on in so many ways. |

This is a beautiful poem that reminds us that not even death can seperate us from those we love. Thanks for sharing. "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

When I die I want someone to cry for me...not because they are hurting but because they loved me and hopefully I loved them the same...and they will miss that love...James |
