Do Not Forget Poem by Jeryn Bean

When a person dies,
it should not open a gate to sorrow,
it should open a gate to acceptance.
because now that person is free.

free of the hate and pain of this world.
but you should not forget them,
keep them in your heart and mind,
so that they live on as you live.

feeling the joy you feel, and the sorrow.
so do not grieve.
fore then they will grieve as well.
so instead, accept that they are better, and happier.

so forever hold their memories dear,
fore once forgotten,
they will never return.
