Wondering

I cannot help but wonder
when I'm gone
 long departed from this life,
what stories will they tell
 of all those encounters possibly marking -
who I was, 
what I did, 
where I went,
 how I made my way through the years;
the life experiences that molded and blended me
 to be a part of their lives,
close friend, partner, lover, 
companion, significant other,
 relative sister, aunt, mother, daughter
me 
 in their memories.
