Should I fall down
Would you lift me up
Should I act like a clown
Would you laugh it up
Should I sing out loud in a crowded place
Would you sing along, face to face
*
When I get old
Will you be by my side
When my mind does fold
Will you be my guide.
When I tell the same stories on and on
Will you listen in silence until the dawn
**
Should my time come, will you say goodbye
Would you hold my hand till the end of day
Should memories vanish, like clouds in the sky
Would the darkness we had, soon fade away
Will you worry, why should we care
When in the great hereafter I shall wait for you there

love the raw emotion
This is lovely
Beautifully-done! The last line is stunning... Loving the romantic vibes brilliantly showcased within the heart of this piece! Awesome work!
Beautifully written testimony to lasting love. ❤️
The last stanza brought tears to eyes. Really beautiful poem, JBaz.
This pulled the heart strings all the way through.
Well writ, my friend! I think you hit all the emotions with this one.
AWW!. This is so sadly sweet. Those hands will be with you evermore. Lovely poem.
Beautiful!
Lovely poem. The hope of seeing our loved ones in the hereafter.... Really love that part. 💐
Well-wrought! Energy never ends and death is no end to life. We're all in there somewhere, or at least so it seems to me.
So beautiful
I like it a lot, the memory fades, but also the memory of bad things, eternal love remains 🧡
"When my mind does fold" - what a great line. This was very sad, JBaz but wonderfully evoked.
Oh my. This is gorgeous. Well done, my friend.
This tugged at my heartstrings but in a good way. Loved your poem!
It's a lovely poem, and the answer from one to the other is yes. A couple in love, and I loved your poem!
What a lovely thought beautifully articulated ❤️
The flow to the poem was enchanting ✨❤ I loved the poem; The questions got me hooked 👏
This is so beautiful Jason!! I loved the rhyme scheme and your word choices. That first verse was so drawing, felt like a call to action or challenge. Great work!!
As you know, I never read poetry but this one caught my attention, Maybe its because it hits close to home, Great work, Jason.
This is so poignant… especially liked: “When my mind does fold Will you be my guide. When I tell the same stories on and on Will you listen in silence until the dawn”💙.
Aww, this was just lovely :)
Love your book promoting it will give you the best result
Sir, this is beautiful. I've said it a lot of times; I am not overly keen on love poems, as they can be too saccharine and overegged, in my opinion. This thought is rooted in real love, in real connection and is inspired by it. Well done, Jason!
