when I am gone

 
 
 
 
when i am gone,  
  the stars will continue  
to shine.  
 
when i am gone,  
  the spring will return  
and the robins will  
  find their way home.  
 
when i am gone,  
  couples will still make  
love to each other.  
 
when i am gone,  
  streetlights will still  
guide the way  
   through the darkness.  
 
when i am gone,  
  bottles of wine will  
continue aging  
  to perfection.  
 
when i am gone,  
  I will be gone,  
that's it.  
 
...so simple,  
 
...so pure,  
 
...so elegant.  
 
life should be  
  lived as such.
