Audrey Haick Poet Rhyme

Fondest Memory

Come gather ‘round me, children as I leave 
Countless as stars and I am pleased 
Most of you older ones bring me most joy
When I call, how you make my heart soar

Some late nights when sleep takes a hike
You enwrap me in a warm embrace tight
As we stroll through life’s broadening lanes
Picture-perfect glimpses of you remain

This new home will be my final abode 
No negativity fits in- peace it erodes
Have no regrets, each one has a place
The universe is a wide open space

The moment, you my fondest was born
I recorded you like my favorite song
Now, I go where I can not take you all 
So come, fondest memory as to sleep we fall
~*~

David Smalling December 10, 2010 at 9:51 AM Darn these contests, they forced one to write such provocative things that scare a heart to death ... we all must say goodbye, but to you I would not be ready yet, dear friend ... even though you bring such courage to it. All the best in the contest.

Andrea Dietrich December 9, 2010 at 7:22 PM wow, not what one would expect for a fondest memory! but a good way to think about the "end" I really like it and hope Frank will too. LUv,Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire December 9, 2010 at 12:42 PM Ah, I see the metaphor now, Audrey. Sorry I was confused. I read it twice and thought it was your mother speaking about her children as memories. I think it will do well in the contest! Either way you interpret it, the poem is so beautiful. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire December 9, 2010 at 10:29 AM Hon, are you writing about your own mother here? Such a touching, heartfelt poem. I'm so sorry you had to lose her, but her spirit will never forget you and you will be reunited one day. Excellent entry for the contest, Audrey! Love, Carolyn
