Be Patient with Life

March 2, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is epitaphs.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

An epitaph in which the deceased asks loved ones to remember him with joy:

Be patient with life, despite its cruelty.

Often it seems careless of our pain,

But just as often brings us hope again.

Remember, I wanted happiness for you.

Under every foolish word this still was true.

Be happy, then, without, as you would with me.

In your life many sweet events remain.

Not in anguish, but in joy remember me.
