I’m feeling a little poetic this morning…
Think kindly of me.
Decades from now,
When you are old and grey;
And I am but dust blowing in the wind,
Look back and think kindly of me.
For though l wanted more than you could give,
I loved you still.
And will do even when we are gone,
When these precious weeks are but phantoms;
Floating in the ether of memory.
When both of us are no more than stardust;
Drifting for eternity;
In the nothingness of the empty cosmos.
Think kindly of me,
When you look back and remember.
That is rather lovely, and brings a tear to my eye as I am currently having a small issue with my eldest son, who does not seem to think very kindly of me currently.
We used to be very close so this issue that has grown up between us, it is painful and your poem reminds me of that.
I hope one day he will think kindly of me again.
Give it time.
