Forget-Me-Nots: Poem

 

Forget-Me-Nots

I.

Our experiences,

Good or bad,

Make us who we are.

Life difficulties

Carved us and our strength

And unidentified our maturity.

II.

Be like a dandelion,

The yellow battalion!

A whimsical wandered in the meadows

Is like your scattering dreams,

With each whiff of breeze!

III.

Be like a pretty rose,

Always have a personal pose

As the rose’s sharp thorns

Make you take a pause.

Beauty and youth will footpath

And fade.

IV.

Knowledge, creativity,

And wisdom that said

Will move on forward.

Do not forget me, my sweet crowd

Like the blue forget-me-nots.

V.

Do not look back

With any regret.

Look ahead and headlong

With prayers and hope.

No matter how educated

And talented you think

You are, how you treat

People are defined

You in the end.
