Recollection is the only paradise here on
earth from which we cannot be turned out.
Richter
Loneliness and the feeling of being
unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Mother Teresa
Memory Mother
Like a richly colored flame
whose bright tip Draws upward,
but is brushed by erring storm,
Then relentingly seeks
the earth's dark form
And buries its deep
desires bit by bit;
Thus your life ebbed,
though trembleing, pleading lips
Cried proffering words
to a Trinune God.
In vain I watched
for one familiar nod,
Then pressed my mouth
to thin black hairy wisps.
Memories?
Mother!
How can I forget?
Your smiling eyes
with sad mystery tinged;
Your helping hands,
though labor wrought with tasks;
Mother!
Your clear
high laughter
had a depth
That thrilled my heart,
and lifted silence winged
With boundless joy.
Thank God!
Memories last!
Hilda A. Dammirch
Memory
My name, and my place, and my tomb, all forgotten,
The brief race of time well and patiently run,
So let me pass away, peacefully, silently,
Only remembered by what I have done.
Bonar
Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more, day by day,
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve;
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
