the first time i read the poem was when i was in univerisity, some afternoon in the englich corner. i was absorbed in an atmosphere of sadness as well as serenity.
now i am a father now, my second uncle passed away 11 years ago. he always asked my when i would finish my univesity and when i would go back to visit her. then the third year of my university, he passed away without anyone around him. as a widower, no one remembered him.

this is such an enjoyable piece of poetry, i have never cried so much. this woman dying with her pride and dignity still in tack is astounding. This is a piece my poetry career aspires to be like

My brother died a violent death. Suicide. He was diagnosed with schitophrenic. He couldnt deal with life. His councelors advised him to keep a diary of his thoughts. SOme good some bad. Upon his death the diary was in my care. Shorty after his death I was awoken one night to a voice, a wisper in my ear Remember. I couldnt sleep the rest of the night. Remember what I would ask myself. I soon forgot about it until two days later my son then in grade five came home with a poem.He said it reminded him of his uncle. The deceased.I read the poem and didnt read the title till later. When I seen Remember my legs went weak. I did not know what vestige meant so I looked it up in the dictionary, it meant diary. A vestige of the dreams I once had. To me it was a message from beyond that he wanted it destroyed. That day tearfully I went to a pit and burned it. Never had anything like that happen to me again. A wonderful Poem I will carry in my heart always. In fact i would like it to be read at my funeral.
