One day soon I will wake up <br />And start my day <br />And you will not. <br /> <br />You will not be there too see that I <br />Made it all right. <br />And did the things you knew <br />I could do. <br /> <br />You will be resting cold, <br />In a box <br />Covered by dirt, <br />With a tombstone next to it. <br /> <br />And only in the past <br />Or tucked deep in my heart <br />Will you remain. <br /> <br />I’ll wake up and begin my day <br />But you will not <br />Because your time is shorter <br />And forever you cannot stay.<br /><br />Rita Shay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-for-long-2/
