Forgotten
Children forget so much.
He won't remember our days together,
just the two of us.
And who will
as the days pass,
and my own memories fade?
Those times, those precious perfections of little moments.
Stolen away.
"No, son, we'll eat lunch,
then
have ice-cream."
I think of them now, as many as I can.
How many of you have
already slipped away?
But the days pass and there will be new moments,
to forget.
So I treasure each one;
and holding it close, I breathe it in,
like a dyeing breath...
And think of a distant time
long from now,
and an old man lying still.
When his last breath leaves,
and those beautiful, dark eyes
close their last,
will his thoughts return to me?
and remember
a man and a little boy
walking hand-in-hand
on that sidewalk so long ago?
Will he remember their joy?
Frozen forever in time,
forgotten,
and lost for all eternity.

My teacher, my
friend
Little demon
From heaven
Child
of my heart
Source of life yet
painful reminder
of
my weakness
to
see the truth
that
I am little more than child
myself
so
I learn from your every
act,
so
we
grow up together
my
son |
