~For Just a Minute~

~I found this tonight...early this morning I should say. I don't really recall my reasoning for writing it, which is why I always date and time stamp all my writing. But as I started to read my words. I couldn't help but start to feel overwhelmed with grief, as my words started to paint a deep picture of Michael...and this years events. It wasn't until I got to the end of the poem, emotionally drained and my eyes burning with stinging tears that I read my time/date stamp. Ironic? who's to say. Scary? who's to say. Completely eerie? Yes that I can say. This was written on June 25th, 2008. A Year before the world slipped of its access, a year before the world stood still, on the day....we all 'Cried At The Same Time'

Will you think of Mike...For Just a Minute?

When you think of me
For just a minute
Will it be with a smile?
With dancing eyes
For just a moment in time
That will last you awhile

When a thought of me passes you by
For just a minute
Will it hang your head in sorrow?
And in that minute
Will you finally be able to say goodbye?

In that moment of time
When you remember me
For just a minute
Will it bring you to laughter?
Wishing I was with you
For just a minute
To share that laughter
For just a minute
After;
My laughter disappears

When you think of me
For just a minute
Will it bring you to tears?
Will it make you miss me?
For just a minute
After all those years

When you remember me
For just a minute
Will it make you sad?
Wondering if I did all I wanted
For just a moment;
In the little time I had

When you think of me
For just a tender minute
Will it be with tearful laughter?
Wishing I was with you
For just a minute longer
To share in your laughter
For just a minute
After;
My laughter disappears

….Think of me
…For Just a Minute
