Think Of Me Poem by Randy McClave

When you come by to think of me
Please, for me do not weep,
Because I am no longer there;
All you see now is a shell
Where my soul once did dwell,
So please because of me do not stare.
When they place me into this Earth
And cover me up with her dirt,
Please, do not shed another tear;
Because I have gone on
Like the wind and the dawn,
So, I am no longer here.
But, please always remember my laugh
And also remember my smile,
But, mostly remember my soul;
Because that is what made myself, me
It gave me life and made me free,
It was what everyone truly did know.
If you ever come by
Just to visit me once again,
Or if you are passing and just want to say, "Hi";
Do not look at the ground
Because there I will not be found,
Instead look up towards the clouds in the sky.
