If I die remember me with a smile
My laughs, my charms, my clutzy ways
The hysterical laughter I was prone to
My shyness, the hurt hid inside
My meanness to those who were different
Do not idealize me
I am no more or less than what I am
A human who loves to live
And sleep in
Take long drives and cuddle close
Handle animals, play with hair
Most of all, I am human
Prone to mistakes I wish I hadn't made
And apologies I've made
Friends I hold dear
Those who are better far away
The love of a new day
But the regret of yesterday
So if I die, do not idealize me
I am no more and no less than what I am
Right now

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

C~
I enjoyed this very much and can see
why it is your favorite. and i agree. we
each are only human and are who we are.
we can't be someone we are not. i always
say be true to thy self and you can not
fail. it's when we go against who we are
that true failure is achieved. that's
just my philosophy anyway. great poem!
take care.

Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."

Well said, Cuddlez.
I believe the people who are true in life are remembered that way. The key, I suppose, is to leave a mark; any mark while you are here.
Being gone is not nearly as dreary as being forgotten.
Nicely written!
