I Really Remember! Poem by Denis Martindale

I remember weeping when my Grandpa died,
I remember weeping when my Grandma died,
I remember weeping when my Uncle died,
I remember weeping when my Auntie died,
I remember weeping when my Cousin died,
I remember weeping when my Nephew died,
I remember weeping when my Neice died,
I remember weeping when my Father died,
I remember weeping when my Mother died,
I remember weeping when my Sister died,
I remember weeping when my Brother died,
I remember weeping when my Sweetheart died,
I remember weeping when my Wife died,
I remember weeping when my Son died,
I remember weeping when my Daughter died,
I remember weeping when my Friend died,
I remember weeping when my Enemy died,
I remember weeping when my Neighbour died,
I remember weeping when my M.P. died,
I remember weeping when my Pop Idol died,
I remember weeping when my Innocence died,
I remember weeping when my Optimism died,
I remember weeping when my Freedom died,
I remember weeping when my Courage died,
I remember weeping when my Humour died,
I remember weeping when my Future died...
I... remember... weeping... yes... every... time... I... cried...
