Forget me now, Remember me then
See my wrinkles as evidence that I have laughed.
See my failing eyes as evidence that I have seen the world.
See my labored breath as evidence that I have inhaled all I could out of life.
See my tears as evidence of the joy that I experienced.
See my brittle hands as evidence that I held life in my hands.
See my immobility as evidence that I once ran at the speed of light.
See my pain as evidence that I experienced great comfort.
See my tired body as evidence of a life of fulfillment.
See my passing as evidence that another is renewed.
You may not see it now, but everything was awesome, and will be again.
