Poetry for the Thoughtful

What I'll remember

I won't remember what they did,

Or who they were,

Or where it was,

But I'll remember how they made me feel.

I won't remember how they helped,

Or what tthey said,

Or what changed that day,

But I'll remember that it did.

I won't remember why,

Or where,

Or who,

Or how,

But I'll remember pain.

I'll remember love.

I'll remember the sunshine,

The fleeing dove.

I'll remember the kindness,

and the cruel,

The mindless, pain,

and the true.

Through bad, all amid,

I'll remember what you did.
