Christopher Schott Sr. Poet Rhyme

Remember Me Not

Remember me not in the stillness of my breath,
Remember me not in the sadness of my death;
Instead Remember me in the life we shared together, 
And Instead remember me in all that we have weathered;
Remember me not in the quiet of my presence, 
Remember me not in the stillness of my essence;
Instead remember me in the moments that we shared, 
And instead remember me and know I’ve always cared;
Remember me not in this lifeless mass of skin, 
And remember me not as frail and sickly thin;
Instead remember me as you see flowers in the spring,
And instead remember me when you hear my song and sing;
And remember me not in the hours of your grieving, 
And remember me not on the day you saw me leaving;
Instead remember me when you are feeling all alone,
And instead remember me and know I am happy that I'm home.
