If I should go away upon an urgent call <br /> And leave the beds unmade, the floors unswept, and all <br /> The things I should have done- <br /> And then did not return... <br /> Would you complain? <br /> If all the bitter words I spoke that burn and smart <br /> With unintended hurt upon the human heart <br /> Were etched in bold relief. <br /> Upon the scroll of time... <br /> Could you explain? <br /> That I was human after all; that oft a task <br /> Was interrupted to pot a plant, a question ask; <br /> To read a book, or gaze <br /> At God's great universe... <br /> Would you do this: <br /> Shed not one tear of grief for me. No fuller life <br /> E're found this earth. No sojourn ever knew less strife. <br /> Just say I've gone away, <br /> And put my house in order... <br /> Do this for me!<br /><br />Josie Herrington Cloud<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/query/
