I SHALL MISS
 

I shall miss,
not seeing you,
ever, ever again...
the whole time through,
and all the love, that we knew.

I shall miss the sunset,
in the evening sky,
and i'll miss the sound ,
of crickets in the night.

I shall miss,
I shall miss

I shall miss
the gentle rain,
flowers in the spring,

I shall miss,
the rising tide,
and the birds that sing.

I shall miss
the love of life,
the smell of fresh air,

I shall miss,
making new friends,
and those who truly care.

I shall miss
the early morn,
the smell of coffee brewing,

I shall miss
the wonder, the awe,
of watching nature at work.

I shall miss
the peace I feel
as I wrote these words.

Will you know
your last heartache?
will you know
your last sunrise?
will you know
your final goodbyes?
you shall miss
you shall miss

So, find the things
that you like best
do them as much as you can
for those are what
you'll miss the most
when you're gone
when you're gone

Of all the things
that we share
the LOL's
the way we care
the hugs and
wishes of love
I shall miss
I shall miss

For all who've come
and all who've gone
and for those yet to start,
you have my love
my friend, word of bond,
that come from my heart.

Let yourself be,
set your mind free,
let go of the illusion...
be aware
of those who care
love them, before you lose them.

Don't be afraid
of the unknown
take that first step...
approach life, YOUR life,
with this in mind..

that all you do,
that all you say,
that all that you dream and desire,
could be gone in a moment,

don't let things go undone
don't let things be left unsaid
don't let things be left untried,
don't let your hopes and dreams,
be tossed aside.

You may not buy
a word of this
you may know better
and call me a fool...

You may have the answer
to the mystery of life.
you may know why
we are here

You may have faith
in what you can't see
you may spend all your days
believing in that.

Pass on the words
to those that you love..
and in time...
when you look up above
and see clouds
smiling above...
it'll be me....
missing you.

Shall I ever
write again...
or have another thought?

Shall I ever be with you?
shall I ever think of you?
the answer comes
with time.....

You will know fear
you will know pain
you will know tears
and you've known me...

So take me with you..
wherever you may go,
take me in your heart...

When times are bad
when you sense doubt
let me come to mind.....

Allow me to share your pain.
remember the words that I say,
for as friends...
we shall remain.
