How Can I Forget
by Velma M. Carlson

 

How can I forget him, when I know
He is near?
His memory is beautiful! Filled
With many the years
How can I forget him? He’s here
In my mind
Not a passing thought, but all of
The time.
How can I forget him? He was
My life...
We worked hard together, through
Toil and strife.
How can I forget him? Nearly
Sixty-five years
And when I think back, my eyes
Fill with tears.
How can I forget him? With
Memories so sweet.
And I know that someday we
Are going to meet.
No, I’ll never forget him.  He is
Close to my heart.
In our vows we had promised
“Until death us do part”.  

1987

  

A simile is as easy as pie, but a metaphor is a piece of cake!
