sunday scribblings.

prompt #85: i carry.

many days have passed
filled with thoughts of you
but sometimes i have to remind myself
to remember you

and when i think i have forgotten you
because i didn’t think of you
i have to remind myself
that i carry you

i carry you in my mind
i carry you in my heart
i carry you in my soul
i carry you

and if i didn’t think of you
because today was too busy
i promise i can’t forget you
i carry you with me always

  1. My dad died ten years ago and sometimes days go by when I don't think of him and that makes me feel bad. After reading your poem, though, I realize that he is with me even though I'm not consciously focused on his memory. Thank you for this! ~Linda

  2. The ones we love the most are always with us, and your poem is a good reminder of that.
