When I Die

when i die
the clocks will keep ticking
the earth will not mourn
even you my love will not miss  a heartbeat
nor will you pause to hold your breath
all the warmth and emotion inside will escape me
the earth will accept me cold

and all this makes me wonder 
will i be treasured inside you
even when memories of me grow faint
will you still see me in your surrounds
will you hear my voice

or will i my love,be no more
out of sight out of mind,,,,

Nico, :-) I'm taking this moment to wish you an early Happy Mother's day. Just in case, I can't hang around the soup past Saturday Night. May you enjoy all the blessings a mother engraves in our hearts. About your poem: very deep... and ends with a sad thought... Linda
