when the last breath of life <br />is gone from my body <br />and my lips are as cold as the dog’s nose <br />when my friends gather 'round <br />for my farewell party <br />will you come with a smile to say goodbye <br /> <br />there will be flowers from those <br />who cry when I'm gone <br />and lots of tears from those I left in the world alone <br />and I know some will have fun at my farewell party <br />but will you come with a smile to say goodbye <br /> <br />don't be mad at me for wanting your goodbye <br />and dying for the smile we shared <br />this you need to know as true <br />when my life on this old world is through <br />I'll go away loving you still<br /><br />Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/will-you-come-to-say-goodbye/
