Poem by Jessie Heitzmann of Pass Christian, MS -- 8-1-2012
Remember Me
When comes the day I return to dust,
As inevitably we all must,
Lay me down, though not with tears,
But joy for all the happy years.
Remember me in all things I love,
A rainbow arc in the sky above,
In winds that sing to swaying trees,
And moonlight’s glow on velvet seas.
Remember me in a summer storm
With lightning streaks in brilliant form,
In an evening sunset’s fiery blush
And twilight’s quiet, sleepy hush.
My spirit will live on, I pray,
In all I’ve touched along the way.
And if thoughts of me invoke a smile,
I’ll know my life has been worthwhile.
