Written in memory of a very brave man...

Remember Me


 


Remember me_


not as a date or time,


but as a person.


Remember me_


I was weak…I was strong.


I was afraid…I was brave.


Remember me_


I had wants…I had desires.


I had needs…I had goals.


Remember me_


not as an event in history,


but as an individual.


Remember me_


I lived… I loved,


I laughed…I danced.


Remember me_

Rememer Me...is haunting in its challenge to see someone as they are, not as we thought they were. Beautiful. Thank-you for sharing. Liz

A very heartfelt piece, Elizabeth, obviously honoring someone very special.

And there's a lesson here for us all: "Remember me" is a contemporary guideline for our relations with others. Not a guideline to use in remembrance of others later but a guideline in remembering them now, right now.

I dislike the triteness of the saying, "Better late than never." In my book that doesn't cut it. There is only one "best" time to honor someone special in your life. That time is now.

On our death bed our greatest regret will not be for what we have done but for what we wanted to do or should have done--but didn't!


In Kahlil Gibran's 1923 masterpiece "The Prophet," he reveals a painful truth:

"And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."


"Remember Me" is a wonderful and loving tribute.

Whispering "I love you" today is magical. Tomorrow may never come.

With love and admiration,
Richard

Liz this is beautiful in it's sincerity. It almost felt like I was meeting and old love from the past, maybe one I treated unintentinally wrong and now had the chance to make amends. Very well done and gripping with each line.
