In a World Where I do not Exist


If there's a world where I do not exist
I would want my memories to persist
Friends regaling stories of good deeds done
People remembering old days of fun
Silence serenading in between smiles
Familiar fighting with forgotten files
No one should shed tears that I am now gone
Rather reminisce golden days till dawn
Whene'er you think thoughts that throwback to me
Close your eyes, take a pause, then let me be

So beautifully expressed, Jo! Wonderful rhyme scheme and even better message expressed in very expressive images - "silence serenading in between smiles." Powerful. And even if you have left us, your words will remain to inspire us! A definite blessing. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!

Our body may die, but not our soul. Your happenings will always be remembered by those who care.

Thought provoking verse Joanna, it's hard to think that one day we won't exist in this life but hopefully in the next. Good luck in the contest. Tom
