Goodnight Sweetheart I Will MissYou
SultryRose's Signatures
This is my favorite poem. I wrote and posted it hours
before recieving a phone call telling me my daughter
had been found dead.. I felt as if I had written her a
goodbye letter
It's time to go sleep now, you children of the sun
Put away your summer clothes ,
your race it has been run
Oh Yes !
The fields of gold were ripe back then
when summer filled your days
laughter echoed from the hills
where once you laughed and played
You watched the summer sun rise high
where the flowers of life, they grew
Yes, you drank deeply from life's cup
when earth's joys were all brand new
You dreamed your dreams, you tossed the dice
you sang your earthly song
the whole world sang in harmony
until the song was done
Then autumn came and caught you
now you watch and you grow old
all bittersweet and lonely
As last days they do unfold
Old loves are lost and youth has died
you're tired and sick and spent
still all in all you won the game
so now you are content
To watch as winter beckons
with it's bitter nights so cold
where you will sleep forever
Next time the fields turn gold
Yes
It time to go to sleep now you children of the sun
Life must be for the living
Your time.. Your race is run
