Before I Leave



Before I Leave

As the last tear of parting rolls slowly down my cheek
A sadness for times no longer to be
A happiness for times that led up to thee
A gladness that I did live and see
I'd like my last words to be
"May I have a kiss before I leave?"

A kiss for family
A kiss for friends
A kiss for times I remember
A kiss for times I forgot
A kiss for times that were
A kiss for times never been
A kiss for tears
A kiss for smiles
A kiss for life
A kiss for love
A kiss for you
A kiss for me
A kiss for the journey
A kiss for the tarry
A kiss for what was
A kiss for what is
A kiss for what will be
A kiss for I am not to be

May I have a kiss before I leave?
