When my life has ended, <br />Remember my promise to stay with you always <br />For your life will just begin <br /> <br />When I am under the earth, <br />Do not weep out of sorrow <br />For you will still be above it <br /> <br />When you play in the fall leaves, <br />Remember our games <br />For we played them so long ago <br /> <br />When you smile and laugh, <br />Think of me <br />For time is beginning all over <br /> <br />When you first taste love, <br />Remember my heart <br />For it was swollen with love for you <br /> <br />When you hear my name, <br />Do not fall back in surprise <br />For many call my name their own <br /> <br />When you hear the news, <br />Do not cry out in despair <br />For you have lived a full life <br /> <br />When you are barely able to move, <br />Remember my smiling face as they laid me to rest <br />For you shall soon join me again <br /> <br />When you lie on your deathbed, <br />Remember my promise to be with you always <br />For soon you shall see my face<br /><br />Joanna Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remember-me-when-i-m-gone-2/
