For Tim

For Tim

A Story by Tbear


You asked me what memory I would like to take with me into eternity

and I replied with ..the day I met you....

Memories, I haven't got very many, I threw so many of them away

so the ones I have are either made up or hoped for

I had time to think about your question, I thought very hard

and now my reply will be that because of you

The single most memory that I want to take to eternity

is the one when my father asked my forgiveness

It was this memory true, hoped for and realized

that has given me the ability to meet people like you

To make a memory and keep it, now my memories

cling to me and become one long thread of joy

So my friend, let our memories become realities

may they become our only clothing, may they be strong

and capable of carrying us into eternity where we will

never have to contemplate our single most favorite memory.
