Think Kindly
.
When I am gone,
I hope you think kindly of me.
That there is a memory of us,
That brings a smile …
To your heart.
.
Remember … these old eyes once,
Contained a spark of life,
With all the joy of the young,
With all the hope ..
Of the loved.
.
When I am gone,
Remember our laughter,
The tears we shared,
And how our hearts sang,
From our shared whimsical smiles.
.
Oh when I am long resting in peace,
Put down the words for all to read.
To share once again,
This day and next,
My prayer and smile for all of you.

Well Mr anthony … that recipe got put on the back burner when I found out Pineapple was in the top three things a diabetic should avoid like the plague. I’m thinking about adjustments that could be made, but then … it just wouldn’t be the same. Thanks for your comment. g

Kat has become quite the helper around this old place and she doesn’t mind the camera. g

Aw, I love this poem! Beautiful! I can imagine you thinking about your wife as you wrote it? So you have two cameras or how did you get that photo – which by the way I think is so great, I can imagine you giving that look to Kat!

Two cameras Ms Shelley. Holding one and the other on a tripod and tripped with a wireless shutter release. I did a whole book like this with me standing in front of all kinds of places around town. The wireless shutter release was the best twenty dollars I’ve spent on camera paraphernalia. g
