On The Day That I Die

On his last day of life, he only asks her of a simple favor...

On the day that I die,

I don't want you to cry

All I want to see

Is your precious little smile

I don not want you

To stay in the past

I just want you

To always remember me

All the bittersweet memories

That I have left behind,

I want you to cherish them;

Never to be forgotten

All the hardships,

The pain, the sorrow,

The joy, the conflict,

All the adventures

That we shared together

Always imply

That I will be by your side

Watching over you

For an endless time

As I say my good byes,

I can hear your mournful cries

The tears that you shed,

For me, they are not wasted

As I close my eyes,

I can feel myself

Slowly being lifted

Into Paradise

Author's Note

the "imply" in the stanza 5 means to remember... this is for all saints day and I dedicate this to everyone who has lost someone very dear to them

I like this poem of yours...
But I'd like to point out the error in the 1st line of the 2nd stanza.
Anyways with that aside, the whole poem is really great!
You did an awesome job :)
