When i am gone....

When I am gone, don't cry for me O Father
For there were moments when i doubted if your love
and affection was unconditional

When I am gone, don't cry for me unborn Child
Because i did not bring you into this beautiful world - I was weak and
feared if you would be looked after with the same fondness

When I am gone, don't cry for me sweet Lover
When i doubted if Love alone was going to be enough
to see us through a lifetime - and did not hold your hand

When I am gone, don't cry for me dear friend
I was hiding in your hour of need - I know you forgave me,
but i never did.

When I am gone, don't play for me wild Musician
For not understanding the language of the notes, you had
wanted me to listen to your heart as you played

When I am gone,dont cry for me - O ticking clock
Should have known that you couldnt wait for me
Should have remembered that i was going to pass this way but once

When I am gone, don't cry for me - deep blue Ocean
For leaving at sunset as the night set in. Vastness did not need seeing, but feeling, your presence permeated the darkness

When I am done, don't cry for me beloved earth
For listening to those busy drawing those lines,states and nations
- i clung to my gun when you were smiles away

When I am gone, don't cry for me spartan enemy
After the battle was won, i did not stop to think why you had given it your all.
And for not saying sorry to those lifeless but determined eyes.

When I am gone, don't cry for me fellow traveller
The road I took was less travelled, not one never travelled.

When I am gone, don't cry. You remain wonderful
