After I Leave

If I depart now
Never you forsake me
We come long, going short
Forget today it's past
Recall yesterday to see tomorrow

My time is precious always
Even out of your sight
Demise devours me and bones perish,
But your heart ceases not, knowing
So every single understands
Love exists to eternity.

Please after my life don't panic
Take my words from thy safe
Why in your memories I can't vanish?
Let my words stay eternally and vanquish
My presence shines through life
Not like the plant of wreath
Erected on the roof of my new house
Sharing same fate as I
You shall not fade in trust
See me decades later
