Thinking Of You Poem by Nellie Isabelle Steward Cooper

I can love you because:

I will not stay here very long

And nine tenths of you will always be
a pleasant memory

Thank God....! ! ! !

God is not dead! ! !

Just passing through gives one a vantage point

And perspective denied during the slow and painful

Accretion of days...

That bury form and substance
and alienate the will

You

Thinking of me

And I thinking of you... truer this in all truth,
far more comforting to the heart

Than any staying
