How can one forget someone like you Uncle even when you're gone?
Though I greatly mourn for your death I'm relieved you won't have to suffer anymore.
Quietly I remember how you always gave me encouragement.
Even as I cry I remember all the things you've done for me.
The piano plays the melodies of the heart as I remember you.
Thank you Uncle for giving me melodic pieces of you.
These memories I'll always cherish.
The music will always be heard.
And I promise I won't forget.
Ahh, poems of death... they always bring me to tears. This one did as well. I can be so drawn to them. Especially ones with personal experiences attached. Amazing. I can feel serenity when I read it, yet sadness. It's a mix of two powerful emotions that grant me a sense of self.
Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
For uncle...
