Re: One of my Aussie Poems: Southern Cross.
I wrote this poem for my Mother when dad died in 1986,i gave it to her at his funeral!
Its not brilliant but she appreciated it!
"Never Forget To Remember"
Never forget the way i looked
when we said our last goodbye,
and remember all the goodtimes
when the sad times make you cry.
And if it makes you sad to think
of me,in the solitude of night,
then remember me at sunrise,
in the golden morning light.
Remember me as the man i was
with dignity and grace,
remember me when the tears
well up,the smile upon my face.
And remember what you meant
to me,right from the very start,
remember your the one i chose
to you I gave my heart.
And never forget to call my name
whenever you feel me near,
and dont be afraid of the lonely
nights,when thoughts turn into fear.
The portal thats between us now
Is a God created door,where
I'll keep a silent vigil,till
we meet again once more.
And always remember what God
creates,also gives the right to take,
and no one knows anothers thoughts
and no one leaves here by mistake.
And age means nought when the
life force dims,and the silver cord
reels in the soul,and severs quick
these Earthly ties,and shatters
quick the Golden bowl.
