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

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
