Here's a toast to all whom I love <br />Thank you for all that you've done <br />I don't know if I'd had made it to today <br />If all of those who I can think of were none <br />The happiness and the laughter <br />They will always, in my heart, remain <br />When the sun is shining brightly <br />Or when the dark clouds begin to rain <br />I'll remember all the memories <br />That we have diligently found <br />And when the sadness starts to come <br />I'll remember your joyful sounds <br />Sounds of talking and giggling <br />Sounds of your voices in my hear <br />And, I pray that you, too, will remember me <br />Just in case I am not always near <br />We've had some wonderful times together <br />In groups of simply two or many more <br />Times of love and care, sprinkled with tears <br />That's all I'm really living for <br />So, if one day you find me <br />No longer living here with you <br />And, you're striving to remember <br />What it was we used to do <br />Remember just one thing <br />To keep me fresh in your hearts <br />That I have loved you all <br />To the very end... From the very start <br /> <br />((December 31st,2000))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-longer-around/
