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
