Well, it's that time of night - I've just posted some 'poo stuff' (do go see!) on the children's section, so here's a maudlin 'adult' one to balance . . . A bit rushed! Comments welcome! BTW The title is from a sad Tom Paxton song, and I think the first two lines are either pretty 'derivative', if not downright plagiarism! (Joan Baez - Barbara Allen? Plus something else?) Apologies! Cheers! Weeping John X
When I Am Gone
When I am gone and laid in grave think only this of me -
that I loved you once, I leave you now with nothing much - just scraps of poetry. What they tell is for you to judge but, God, what they mean to me! Of you I mean, not me myself, for I am here no more. Please, lay them on our dusty shelf and pray for Life’s encore.
