Don't Forget

When the mourners turn away from the grave Don't want them to be sad of what I could have been When I make it to the Gates of heaven Don't turn your head in shame from me God I only lived selfishly till I knew You When the wind has torn the leaves from my grave Don't forget to think of me When the Spring brings buds back to the trees And when the Sun is warming your brow Remember my clear blue eyes and a smile Being human isn't easy as we're told Bills still need paying Food still needs to be gathered and bought Dark still need the light And love is the only guarantee Can you hear me when the birds sing Or when the crickets call on a summers eve Can you see me in the morning when you wake Can you taste me when you have a cool drink Do you feel me when I hold you in the night Love never dies We take it with us when we go It's just harder to remember

Beautiful work! Love is so much easier to feel and be immersed in when it's happening in the moment... though dimmer with distance and time, it still never dies. I like your style, mate. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! I'm totally loving it. I like what you've said about love. Sometimes life's issues trample on us so that our love is veiled yet it always remains -we just need to remind ourselves of it. Nice write Patrick. Very nice!
