Poem from a song - Lynn Gale
I'm Not Gonna Miss You
The sweet smile shines out on your beloved face,
Remembering reminiscing from a long-ago place.
Friends and family are framed on the wall,
But recent events and faces unable to recall.
No pain, no worry, slipping back in the past,
precious memories are now fading fast.
Now the light and laughter have long gone,
Bittersweet memories flood back on hearing this song.

I'm Not Gonna Miss You - Glen Campbell
I’m still here, but yet I’m gone
I don’t play guitar or sing my songs
They never defined who I am
The man that loves you ’til the end
You’re the last person I will love
You’re the last face I will recall
And best of all I’m not gonna miss you
Not gonna miss you
I’m never gonna hold you like I did
Or say “I love you” to the kids
You’re never gonna see it in my eyes
It’s not gonna hurt me when you cry
I’m never gonna know what you go through
All the things I say or do
All the hurt and all the pain
One thing selfishly remains…
I’m not gonna miss you
I’m not gonna miss you…
