BURY ME DEEP

A contest entry - from the heart

BURY ME DEEP

Bury me deep within your memory
so that our years together do not fade;
Love like ours should not be forgotten
or the promises that each has made.

Fresh as the springtime, soft as dew
upon the new-mown grass at our feet;
softness of colors exploding around us
when we embrace and our eyes meet.

I cannot imagine a life without you;
that would surely cause me to weep.
If that day comes when we have to part,
just remember to bury me deep...

I'd rather be held in memory where
a smile would be brought to your face,
where laughter and dreams echo in time
as a treasure that death can't erase.

Just remember to bury me deep...
