'miss you' list
by Robbi Skaerathere must be millions ov heroes
who never got the chance to exist.
if i am born, work and die
need i ever have lived?
i have loved you long enough
to ask you this;
if i disappeared,
would i make your 'miss you' list?
there must be millions ov planets
forgotten in our age.
coincidence, UFOs aside
we must have shared the same stage.
i have missed you long enough
to curse red-shift,
but if i fell off the radar,
would i make your 'miss you' list? 01/31/2009 Author's Note: it's weak, but it's a start. it's an idea, which is more than i've had in a while. i'll knock seven shades out ov it, make it work. in the meantime, here's a prototype.

However, the thoughts placed in your fingertips are perfectly formed. Lovely in it's ponder, Robbi. |

| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 02/06/09 at 03:58 PM Someone told me today that if I were not here they would keep track of me and that made my day yes I want to be on someone's miss you list, this is a line, a phrase and notion that will carry. smh |
