Carry On Tuesday Prompts
If I should die, think only this of me,
That I was good and bad at times
Laughed when I shouldn't and cried when I could
Had a temper to be dealt with
But easily calmed
That I took my knocks in life
and came through like a champ
Even though I wore the scars, silently
I was honest, but was known to stretch the truth
I loved, laughed and cried
Spent every penny on bills
And to my children
Don't cry when I am gone,
remember me by what I have left in your hearts
Even though, your inheritance will be my junk
My heart was in the right place
always, in loving you

Wysteria, this is wonderful! The last stanza is beautiful, but I smiled about the 'junk' (so true, huh?). I enjoy your work!

Awww! This just tugged my heartstrings! Especially the last stanza! Just lovely writing.
ReplyDeletewow...you are a beautiful person.
ReplyDeleteWhat a parent leaves behind to children is never junk.... it is memories! this was truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFunny how you think your own stuff is junk. I really don't have anything of value to leave them. But you are right, even the vase I use for cut flowers, will probably adorn my daughters dining room table. I think, if I recall, it was .50
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by

All these folks talk about proses and stanzas......I haven't a clue what they are so .......I stanza and say well done!
ReplyDeleteWell. To tell you the truth, I write what I feel or know. I am studying other poetry and do like Haiku.
ReplyDeleteYou were so funny "stanza" You have to write something about that...
