Please Don'T Forget Me

Please Don’t Forget Me. . When I slumber and breathe no more And the sun no longer shines upon me My bones laid to rest Under idle peaceful ground Within a chest By a shady leafy sprawling tree Please don’t forget me . Remember the warmth of heart That once beat with so much love to share Although not perfect I did my best And I really cared although few cared For me . My life was always a struggle In a war I could never win Thrown into the deep end from birth But never learned to swim . But I was blessed to touched so many others hearts By word never uttered or spoken By baring my soul and deepest thoughts With honesty and devotion That resonated with countless thousands across the world Over the presiding years Through wisdom joy laughter And many tears . The tombstone above that bears my name Will soon weather away and be overgrown My life and being out of mind and memory But through my legacy of words Do not forget but remember me . For I was no different from you With aspirations a need to love and be loved And heart held dreams to pursue But whatever you do My words are heartfelt And if you desire to read What I thought and believed You may not always agree With me But please don’t forget me . Or it would be like I never existed. . Peter Dome©2020.
