"Forget-me-not are the best parting words said in silence amidst sunset's climbing shadows," ... by The Poet.
My Forget-me-nots my pretties
soon it will be my time to part
this simple life that'll be for not.
I'll idle a bit drifting for awhile
it'll be our dawn to cherish talk
won't be a tempest in a teapot.
For the life I must leave behind
is not only mine but all of you
for my life comes the afterlife.
... I prayed that each of you
be planted in Heaven's garden
there'll be no need of tending
care but merely time for talk.
I'll say words seldom heard,
REMEMBER, life there will be
forever, here is only for dying.
Why? It's rooted to thy name.
(later that evening)
Hi my pretties, my final hour
cometh, I say Good Night to
you here and Good Morning
up there. Forget-Me-Not, a
name our World to Echo ...
