Ravensong Poetry And Writing Blog by Donovan Baldwin

By Donovan Baldwin

I desire no epitaph,
Just your memories,
To mark my presence and passing.

Speak not of me to friends,
Or, strangers on the street,
For I only wish, that

My memory be in your mind,
And in your heart,
Passed on from you,

To another future era,
Because of respect,
And true love.

I am nothing without,
Your affection and respect,
And await your kind words and actions.

So, beloved friend, think tonight
Of me, and bless me with
Your respect and love.
