Remember Me

To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea—-

remember me.

As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty –

remember me

As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity—

Remember me.
