When I Go
When the sun has set for me,
Don’t cry—for my soul is free.
Learn to love me in a different way;
Even in absence, I’m here to stay.
Though out of view, I haven’t gone;
Love lingers—it lives on and on.
I’ve simply retired from your sight,
Yet my presence fills the day and night.
Close your eyes and feel the breeze;
I’m in the whispering of the trees.
In the moon’s soft glow, its tender light,
I’m the magic that blesses the night.
In every sunset, hear my song;
With every sunrise, hum along.
I’m woven into the earth and sky,
A constant presence—you need not cry.
So, when I go, let there be laughter,
Let joy echo now and after.
Think of me as a playful sprite,
Turning on stars in the middle of night.
For I was here—amidst the strife,
I have played this game of life,
And in its beauty, I have won.
