Someday I will be gone <br /> <br />This desk will empty be someday <br />This bed will not keep me here forever <br />One day on a lonely route, reroute as I came <br />Thoughts of unknown farewell bids <br />By many who like troupe show sympathy for my departure <br />Tear as usual flowing from sympathizers not wishing death <br />But these tears ran many times from these eyes in the secret places <br />In pleas for a better place when I am gone <br /> <br />Wish I stayed awhile, <br />But death, like a merciless brigand <br />Visits by illness, by war, by hazards and by aging weakness strengthened <br />These harm we bare anticipating by installment <br /> <br />These tears when they cease <br />And labors when it’s done <br />Our desires and lifelong longings <br />Exposed by death with all unspoken greed and selfish vanities <br /> <br />To the friends, <br />Love all amore; continue the good spirit <br />and to the foes, who made themselves so <br />I say <br />Be this our parting kiss? <br />Shall offences be from the heart grave bound with no mercy? <br />Forgive as I go <br />Forgive again I say <br /> <br /> <br />I miss friends, there is a better one, Him I crave <br />House from whence I shall be refused entry, yet a glorious one is my desire <br />Inheritance, these be no issues, as terrestrial lots like worm doth fade <br /> <br />Someday I will be gone <br />As you that read will follow suit at your time by destiny’s choice <br />So long or too short? <br />Yes someday <br />Bid me farewell with sober silence as death demands <br />I will wait for you at the crossing where the great Judge <br />Will by Himself do all He pleases unquestioned <br />Bid me farewell someday <br />But dont come too soon<br /><br />macaulay akinbami<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dont-come-too-soon/
