When I Die
When I'm free from this earthly plane
I wanna feel fresh like a summer rain
I wanna be everywhere, see everything you do
I wanna be that force that gets you through
I wanna be that someone you think about
That drives you forward in times of doubt
That propels you further than you thought you could
That gets you to do things you never would
::Chorus::
When I die
I don't want you to mourn and cry
I don't want to see a tear drop in your eye
I want you to remember me and smile
After all, I'll be with you all the while
When I die
When I die
I see you going to work everyday
I always try to convince you to stay
Seems like you're carrying a heavy load
Sometimes I wish you could just let go
I've never wanted to be a burden to you
I'll always appreciate the things you do
I know sometimes it doesn't feel that way
No matter what, I want you to be Okay
Chorus
When I die and leave this earthly plane
I want you to dance in the summer rain
I want you to feel me holding you tight
I want you to know things will be all right
I wanna be that someone you think about
That drives you forward in times of doubt
That propels you further than you thought you could
That gets you to do things you never would

Wow, Tim! This is really great! You expressed yourself so beautifully in this. Love it!

I wrote that from my father's point of view. At least that was the impression he gave me before he died.
Thanks for the like and the reading list.

Now, I am going to read it again keeping in mind what you said about your father. I'm sure it will make it even better. You don't have to be so humble when you're as a great a poet as you are! This is a very praiseworthy poem.

I went back and read it again. It had an even greater impact on me this time just as I expected it would do. It really stirred me up emotionally. Are you by any chance a father yourself?

If I ever find a way to express the tunes that I hear when I write, trust me, I'll post them the first chance I get. Words to me have a tune when I read them in my head. Always have.
I can't sing, can't play an instrument, even tried the program hum on and it wouldn't work for me. I used to be able to whistle, but I can't anymore.
One of my favorite songs I've lost the tune I had for it. Unfortunately someone mentioned a song to me and I can no longer hear the tune in my version, only in the other song.
