Remember Me

 “Remember Me”

To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated. 
But to the happy, I am at peace.
And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot speak, but I can listen. 
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.  

So as you stand upon a shore
gazing at a beautiful sea - Remember me.

As you look in awe at a mighty forest
and its grand majesty - Remember me.

As you look upon a flower and
admire its simplicity- Remember me.

Remember me in your heart: 
Your thoughts, and your memories,
of the times we loved, 
The times we cried, 
The times we fought, 
The times we laughed.  

For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.

-Margaret Mead
