The smile you gave the liftman <br />Or security was it, the Hi you said <br />On your way out from work <br />The respect you gave your parents <br />The affection towards siblings <br />The love for your wife <br />Children and Grand children <br />You have and the renewed vows <br />By which you share again <br />Love, affection, support and care <br />All that you give – Today <br />May seem as if all is just <br />Taken for granted, but <br />Silently each heart acknowledges <br />Even now the love you give <br />The friends you have <br />The days of joys shared <br />In their sorrows you wept with <br />The advice and encouragement <br />All that you give and gave <br />Will never ever be in vain <br />The poems you wrote <br />The inspiration that you are <br />And remain to be till the end <br />The strength which flows from you <br />To strengthen other souls in pain <br />A speck of dust we are, it’s true <br />The selfsame holds the spark <br />Of new life to come. <br />I would rather have you here <br />And keep thinking of you <br />Every hour, every second too <br />But, if and when it comes and <br />When you are gone, remember <br />There’ll be reasons a zillion <br />To remember and people a million <br />Who would always remember you!<br /><br />Angelina Pandian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-you-are-gone/
