Forget me not

Existence is without sense or reason,
Little replicating things of clay.
We have our brief time and season,
Born ,exist and then decay.
A few in passing make some mark.
But most are of little sway.
Like the early morning lark,
Sing briefly then drift away.

Morn if you would forget me not.
And sing my songs!
Less my voice be soon forgot,
And eternity be overlong.

Good stuff Michael! I believe we would all like to leave our mark in some small way. Even if it's for our smile...or being a good friend to someone...but, we will all live on in the hearts and memories of those lives we have touched.
Good write, enjoyed!

Oh, my friend~

If the sparrow
sang but for me
I would note his falling
from the tree

And in his song
at break of day
I would have noted
his gentle sway

Which would mean
his song of love
Would drift back to me
on songs from above

Each of us
leaves great the mark
Upon the songs
in loved one's heart

No little sway
upon the wind
That came to blow
through the heart of this friend~

When I look at a forget-me-not flower, I will remember you.
And Marge's response is 100% from me too.

Arthur,

Morn if you would forget me not.
And sing my songs!
Less my voice be soon forgot,
And eternity be overlong.
