Remember Me
Today or tomorrow.
Death is certain.
So why worry.
My life was worthwhile.

Remember me when I am gone.
Recall the closeness of ours.
Never remember me with tears.
Remember my legacy.

For that matter.
Is your smile after my demise.
It is the end of my journey.
What of our plans?

I don't want my dear to give you cramps or ghostly image.
You have to tell my story.
You have to announce my death.
Don't dwell on thought that will cause pain.

I have given life the best shot.
I was not easy on life.
Its full force was not easy.
I did not die cheaply.

Tell those that do not know my story.
The love in my heart.
My ink must not die.
My poems must not die

I leave the world not my ink.
I leave the world not my poems.
They must be immortal.
The writer can't be immortal.
