Remember Me Poem by Gregory Huyette

Remember that raucous laugh, often too loud
That could bother a few or bolster a crowd.
Then that sense of humor that would prevail
Replacing that old grouchy man’s veil.

As for the rest of my shortcomings and thoughtless crimes,
I hope you’ll replace them with memories of good times.
Like the family gatherings where we all laughed and played
And enjoyed true happiness from the emotions conveyed.

It’s not sadness, but gladness that defines this day.
I am at peace knowing I have traveled with you all this way.
Most of all as my soul rejoices with the stars above,
Please remember I’ll live on through your spirit of love.
