Do Not Forget
I have learned to love you more with each breaking day
and I tell you I love you more,
than I did the first year of our lives
we knew together.
now . . . . now that grief binds you tight
in remembrance of those who are dead or dying.
Try not let death seize you in it's embrace
to know that each moment you are alive to grieve
you are also alive to live
I am not here to bind you to me
but only to love you
and my loving embrace
in support of our lives
lived together (not alone).
Death reminds us . . .
make time for the living
let them love you
in the depths of your misery, love and pain
death reminds us that we are all suffering
in loss and love
in love and death,
in birth and living.
Do not forget me . . .
the dead whisper to us
do not forget
do not forget the warm lives and souls that populate your
life
do not forget
I am here to support and love
we need each other
we need others
I have learned to love you more with each breaking day
I whisper to you do not forget me
do not forget them
do not forget
do Not forget
Shhh my love . . .
do not forget
to live.
