a memorial ... from an Iraqi soul

[flordehinojos]

To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you look in awe at a mighty forest and
Its grand majesty...
Remember Me.
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts,
And your memories of the times we cried,
the times we fought, the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me,
I will have never gone.
