There Are Times I Reflect....

There are questions in life that will remain unanswered,
That will haunt your memory til finally revealed.
Only one question conquers my thoughts,
I fear that the answer will be forever sealed.
When those who pass away from the Earth,
Does their memory also pass?
Will Dad forget me, as i have not forgotten him,
Or will they continue to grow like the summer grass?
With the fading memory does the heart also follow,
Though love is undying, could his love lay dormant?
In God and heaven, I do believe,
But in forgotten love I can't.
So, my question I'll continue to ponder,
Awaiting an answer that may never come from above.
But behind the lingering question, lies memories,
And in memories people never die, nor does their love.
