When I Turn To Stone Part II

Originally I wrote this as a
cold, harsh reminder to tell
those still among the living to
embrace those near and dear
while you still can..

As I recall it was:
You can no longer say good-bye
for I am gone.
So do not cry over me
for I am not here.
My ears can no longer hear,
my eyes no longer see,
All that remains of me is a
stone. A permanence of my name.
A marker over my body.

While I was here on Earth
I was so much more than a
stone or a name and this is
how I need you to remember me.
Think of how I touched your life and
the memories that we had together.
Remember my LIFE not my death!
And remind those still alive
how much they mean to you!!!~JWM
