Remember me for who I am
Not who I was
Remember me for the promises I kept
Not the ones I broke
Remember me for whom you loved
Not for whom you hated
Remember me for the times I helped you up
Not the times I let you fall
Remember me for the wisdom I've spoken
Not for the nonsense I've spoken
Remember me for the tears that were dried
Not for the tears that were cried
Remember me for the smiles
Not for the cries
Remember me for the power I had
Not for the power I've lost
Remember me for who I've inspired
Not for the who I have disgusted
Remember me for who I have saved
Not for who I have lost
Remember me for who I have made laugh
Not for who I have made cry
Remember me for the times that we shared
Not for the times apart
Remember me for times forever remembered
Not for the times forever forgotten
Remember me for the love
Not for the hate
Remember me for the pleasure
Not for the pain
Remember me

Author's Comments
I got this idea when I was reading the back of my cousin Ashley's obituary. Her mother found the suicide note that she left, and part of it said this:
"Remember me for the daughter I was Not for the daughter I wasn't Remember me for the cousin I was Not the cousin I wasn't Remember me for the person you loved Not for the person you were upset with" I loved my cousin dearly and she took her life with an overdose of heroin. So, basically you can say she inspired me to write this. R.I.P Ashley~<3 xxShawn Enjoy btw, and comments would be great  |

I can relate---right before my mother died, she made me promise that I would always keep her in my mind...
It really is a beautifully written poem.
Nice job.

Well, I am sorry for your mother's death. I think that no matter what, promised or not, people who are near and dear to us are not easily forgotten. You know?

It takes 1 sec. to love their looks
It takes 1 hr to love their songs
It takes 1 day to fall in love with them
It takes 1 lifetime to forget them!
