A day will come when <br />a personal call for me is heard. <br />A day when the clouds <br />in the sky stop passing <br />and the oceans life <br />becomes still. <br />A moment when both <br />our lives will end. <br />Mine as I walk the pathway <br />to our fathers mansion; <br />yours as a friend, a mother, <br />a daughter has been selected <br />to move forward from the <br />life she was granted to a new <br />life that awaits. <br /> <br />Give me you laughter as I <br />am lowered in to the earth. <br />Let me remind you of the person <br />you've helped me become. <br />A heart once afraid to love <br />has found a home that has <br />nurtured it's strength. <br />With love I will shine down <br />on your waking and sleeping <br />moments, blessing you with <br />great hope, undying love, and fond <br />memories. <br />If I should leave you, <br />I leave with you the gift you <br />gave me, life.<br /><br />Gero Lorna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-should-leave-you/
