Winter Prayer

Image by Mary Mansfield


As snowflakes fill the still night air,
I offer up a simple prayer:
That life turned out as you hoped it would be,
And that you smile when you remember me.

i always wonder if people remember me, it's kind of silly, they seem to usually remember me

I love this, Mary. I'm glad I have many memory-persons about whom to smile.
