You asked me when
and I said soon
you asked me how
and I said where
you asked me why
and I said because
no-one lives forever
and memories are made of moments
that count for all to see

and then you smiled and the soon was kept for later….

this should be widely read. it is simple( which i consider as a basic aspect of a good writting) it is crafty and i think it epical.

clever talks delay friendship!

Dear RDB,

This is nice enough, however, it really would be better if you dropped the needless "and"s.

a very pleasant 'write!'...

I am especially fond of the ending lines:

"memories are made of moments
that count for all to see(!)"

RDB,

And I read this 2 or 3 times
And after the 4th time I thought
And this is yet another reason I enjoy this site so much
And that's all I want to say really, except
I'd like to give you a big 'and for writing this simple, yet deep and meaningful piece...

Andy...sorry, John

What a smile can do!

Very well done!

"no-one lives forever
and memories are made of moments"

Words more true have never been written.

A great write!

A human smile is a great thing. I don't see many smiles; my family frequently tell me my appearance most often frightens people. Because of old damage, when I smile it rarely reaches the outside. Maybe that is why I value an honest smile. Your poem made me smile. Thanks.
