The Request

I know one day

When I am gone ,

You will come here to read .

And upon these simple pages

You will find a part of me. 

For upon these pages

I have laid out my life ,

For All the world to view .

With hopes that in words left behind

They would find something about me , new.

Sharing each life experience

and how I made it through,

Praying that in each story

You will also find, a part of You.

I know you will sit and wonder

Were those words written just for me ?

How come I never noticed before?

How come I did not see?

Remember How I often wrote ?

"Those who have eyes shall see..."

Maybe not now...but someday ,

I knew it was how it would be.

Each day, could be your someday,

With each new page you shall read.

Finding a message of constant hope

That came from the soul of me.

Words will take on a new meaning

Memories will flood your heart.

As I leave behind the essence of me

Of which you are a part.

And maybe You will pass these words on

To someone who carries some pain .

And realize this lesson filled life I've lived

Was never meant to be in vain.

Yes, I know one day

When I am gone ,

You will come here to quietly read .

And upon these simple pages

You will find a part of me.
