Will you miss me?

A tearful goodbye

Will ya miss me?

Will you miss me?

It’s been a pleasure knowin’ you, Though time has hardly passed…
While a friendship gently grew and blossomed oh so fast…
A stranger in yer town, you lent a helpin’ hand
Tomorrow I’ll be gone, back to my native land!

* And will you miss me, when I go…
Will you miss me I wanna know…
I will miss you, my friends more and more…
I wanna wave you goodbye, before I go….

I was shy when I arrived, You gently eased my fears,
Those sweet moments I’ve derived, they’re drivin’ me to tears..
Mogra flower and It’s leaves, so close but yet so far..
You have been my sailin’ ship…I’ll be yer guidin’ star!

+ Birds returnin’ to their nest are callin’ out to me…
My home-town cries, “come back and rest’,
I can’t stay can’t you see…
I’m grateful fer bein yer guest "an Oak-leaf on a Fig tree…
You gave me shelter in yer nest; a life-time lived fer free!!

I never liked goodbyes, but this is beautifully done. I felt the pang of sadness behind the words, and it took me to moments in life that we have to say goodbye to people and things and places that have touched us, and the wondering if they will miss us as much as we will miss them. Very nice :)

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

hello Renee and thank you...yes its a favourite and its a lovely tune..which i will sing and upload one day...it was a song i composed for a movie some years ago.

[Renée]

did not know...very cool to learn some history on your piece Green One ! ( :

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

yeh...the movie was titled 'It's my life' but has not been released for 11 years now since there was a dispute between director and producer...sigh..
but luckily the Audio Cd had been released but they have run out of stock and production stopped since then. Even I dont have a copy:)

love that song..take care dear.

[Androglossia]

I know you're gonna come back. It's not like you're gonna sail across the Atlantic just to get on this site:) Good poem. I liked the Oak-leaf on a Fig tree. Rock on kiddo!

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

If i return...i shall in a month from now Mary. But if I dont...I know you will cherish my memory:)

[Androglossia]

Yeah. The green alien who sings of gypsy hymns:)

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

well said:) thanku

[Androglossia]

You're very welcome! Sing one for the gypsy of the orient seas someday:) Goodbye!

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

sure...dear Pangit :)

[Androglossia]

Haha! That was impressive but literally wrong. Because I'm not "pangit".

[Androglossia]

Pangit in my language means "ugly". Are trying to start an argument?

[Androglossia]

Sorry, I mean are you trying to start an argument?

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

huh...sorry forget i said that...
cuz in my language it means pretty:)
how strange

[Androglossia]

Good to know because I'm so ready for an argument here, lol. But honestly, I didn't know my comments can get you mad. Because it was you who mentioned to me before that you sing gypsy songs.

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

lol...
i didnt git mad...
how could i git mad at Mary

[Androglossia]

I don't know. It was supposed to be a joke. But I remember somebody told me I got dry humor. I didn't know humor could be dry:) Guess I'm not gonna try telling jokes again :D

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

i got a feeling u arent letting go of me...i will miss my UFO u know

[Androglossia]

Because I know Konkani, Marathi, and Portuguese and neither says pangit means pretty. If you are from Goa you'll know what I mean. I'm really angry now. I'm gonna have your alien god for lunch :D
