Immortality = to be remembered - takes various forms,
initially via the memories of the living, but later in more
tangible forms...like the image in photographs or, more
importantly to poets, in what they have written which
can be kept and passed on to others who never knew
them.

Thanks Col, hahaha, very good. Imagine blotting your copybook for eternity with that gaffe! Now your forensic mind has got me thinking...?

and then our loved ones find our stash of poems and think did he really think that? And what was that all about? I thought he liked my trifle! The bastard!
Nice poem. I liked Tom's comment below. It's about all we can hope for.
Cheers,
Col

Thanks once again Alan! I really appreciate both your comments!
Thanks too, Tom, for reading this and commenting. Yes, you're right, I was trying to convey the idea of wanting our loved ones to remember all the memories we've shared as the most important thing after we've gone.
