i wrote this poem 2 years ago for my aunts funeral as my uncle told me to express the way i'm feeling through a poem not hurting myself so i did.
Remember me by the laughter not the tears,
remember me for the joy and the fun,
we shared through the happy years,
and think of me if you will with a smile,
when we shared jokes and laughed,
at things we did a wee bit daft,
and people said
"what a way to carry on, i'm sure there senses must be gone"
it only made us laugh the more,
so when you've laughed until your sore,
or when the tears run down your face,
these are the things that brought me joy,
so if you have love for me,
then thats how you'll remember me,
for when you'll smile, i'll smile with you,
i'll share the past and future too!
