Spring Day Poem by Kayla van der Merwe

A moment frozen in time
I stand here
I see the sun rising above the city buildings
I feel the coolness of the crisp morning air
Creating a surreal peacefulness
That reminds me of your presence
I miss you
Yet I am content
For soon we shall see each other
Like the cherry blossom buds on the verge of blooming
Our joy shall be fulfilled
Don't forget me!
Don't leave me!
Forever young
You like to remain
But as I grow older
Remember my voice
Remember my motive
Do not let the memories of me be a burden
May I not be remembered as a painful influence...
Like they said I would be
But may the memories of me
Be an inspiration
To strive for opportunity
Like an old piano
Hoping to be played once more
On a spring day
Remains the potential,
Your dream,
And our future
