A Memory

The one I love,

 I shall not forget

She gave of herself with no regrets.

Live your life with happiness,

Each day a new beginning

Take pride in your actions,

Share joy, love ---no yearning.

In my heart she shall be kept,

In troubled sleep, dreaming - I wept.

Of knowledge shared, of tears wiped dry

A pillow of thoughts, on which I lie.

Eyes open to the sun,

another day has come.
