Reminder

Find the time

To write down

Your thoughts

Before memories disperse

Before trembling fingers

Can not hold a pen

Remind yourself where are you from

Where you began walking on this earth

Who are the people you love

Have loved

In your lifetime

Is there a light

In their souls

Is there a depth of compassion

In their eyes

Tenderness in their touch

Remind them

To hold fallen leaves in their hands

Find beauty in them

Like I have

Have they ever given thanks

For every living breath

In time when your vision fades

Will they describe in detail

Colours of the sky

Take you to an open field and wait

For rain to fall

Once more

Wait for the sun

To warm your bones

Find the time to tell them

How much you love them

Before memories disperse

Before trembling fingers

Can no longer hold the pen

And your voice meets the silence
