Remember Me

My children will remember me
My grandchildren but distantly
After that it’s only chance
If time allows a backward glance

That is why I paint and write
To light in time a future light
To say to them I did exist
And come to them from out the mist

Light a light of distant tallow
A beacon to a distant marrow
A mind that searched as hard as theirs
To find an upward path of stairs

To help them plow the soil of thought
To drop their anchor in a port
To fly into a sky of blue
And bring about their egos coup

And even that will soon erase
As even as a pretty face

You paint too?  Wow how creative you are!
Loved this morning's pearls of wisdom.
Have a wonderful day Sy...
~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

so Sy, yes...I couldn't have said it better.

Well I do surely hope your pretty face will be around for many a year to come! Then the perponderance of poetry that you have written will continue to keep a part of your essence alive for an eternity on this earthly plane! Keep smiling! ~ Keep writing!

Love & Sy Light,

This touches me deeply, Seymour... Being childless, I know that within a few short seasons, I'll be just a name on one of the family tree's twigs. *S* That makes it all the more important to me that I matter now... sometimes, I succeed. *S*

Beautiful work!!!
