Do Not Miss Me - A Modern Day Elegy

(Dedicated to someone, inspired by Mrs. Elizabeth Frye's Do Not Stand at my Grave and Weep)

Do not miss me, for I ain’t gone,

Neither from this world, nor from your life!

If you seek, you will find me everywhere

Even though you couldn’t be my wife.

Every little meme that is funny

And brings a smile on your beautiful face;

My soul exists in them, and so

Bear my absence with grace!

Do not miss me, when you see

Posts about promises of ‘Forever’-

For I am in them as a reminiscence

That we will always be together!

I am in every inspirational post

That gives you a hope to live,

I am in every smiling emoji,

So do not feel lonely, do not grieve!

Do not miss me, when you think of me

But just read my messages and comments.

And you will find me scattered everywhere

Sharing myself, enjoying the happy moments!

Do not grieve when you see

Sarcastic comments that reminds you of me,

For I exists in those lighter moments

That even in my absence together we be!

So do not miss me when I am gone

For in the web I am as much alive,

That if you ever look up upon

Google’s result will show you next to me!

I am in every post and message

That inspires you to be a better person,

That gives you hope in humanity and love

And teaches you a Life’s lesson!

Do not miss me, for I ain’t gone,

Neither from this world, nor from your life!

If you seek, you will find me everywhere

For we are more than a husband and wife...
