Through It All, I Have You - A poem about remembrance
When you feel your faite is out of your control, you can truly be the most creative person by accepting your own destiny.
Spring, and the land lies fresh green beneath the yellow sun,
we walked the land together, you and I
Never knowing what the future days would bring,
Will you often think of me
When flowers burst fourth each year,
When the earth begins to grow again
So say death is so final,
But my love for you can never die
Just as the sun once warned our hearts,
Let this love touch you some night when I am gone
And loneliness comes,
Before the dawn begins to scatter your dreams away.
Summer, and I never knew a bird could sing so sweet and clear
Until they told me I must leave you for a while,
I never knew the sky could be so deep blue
Until I knew I could not grow old with you,
But better to be loved by you
Than to have lived a million summers, and never known your love,
Together let us, you and I remember the day and nights for eternity.
Fall, and the earth begins to die
And leaves turn golden brown upon the trees,
Remember me too, in autumn, for I will walk with you
As of old, along a sidewalk in evening time,
Though I can not hold you by the hand.
Winter, perhaps someday there may be another fire place, another room
With crackling fire and fragrant smoke,
And turning, suddenly, we will be together
I will hear your laughter and touch your face,
And hold you close to me again
But until then if loneliness should seek you out,
Some winter night when snow is falling down
Remember, though death has come to me, love will never go away.
