Will you think of Me

When
days are filled with sun and the nights are always fun?

When
excitement buzzes all around,
And the treasures of love seem safe and sound?

When
success lies in your grasp and your car runs fast?

When
flowers fill your home,
And poverty and despair are words unknown?

OR

When
darkness descends and you have no friends,

When
your crops freeze before their season,
And your child dies for some unknown reason,

When
tears hit the ground and no one ventures a sound,

When
the curtains are drawn
And the night may not make it to dawn,

When life's last breath departs,
And that final beat leaves the heart,

Will you think of Me?
