I wanted to leave piece of me behind,
something so unique to me,
that you would remember me
once I had gone.
I don’t want you to doubt
whether I was ever here
in the first place.
I want my imprint
etched into your brain,
so you know that I once was,
and always will be,
a part of your existence.
I left the ghost of me to remain
long after I had gone,
marking the place
that I once held in this world.
I may appear in several ways,
in the most unusual places,
but always know
that I have left a piece of me behind
for you to notice
just when you miss me the most.

I saw this photo on Twitter (@ChicagoProblems) and immediately thought of how loved ones try to send us messages after they have passed. They never drove a jeep but my mom and dad do send us indications that they are still with us in spirit. And Mom and Dad, if you reading this, White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit.

Thank you very much.
I’ve done “Rabbit, rabbit” on the first of the month, but not “White rabbit”
I was still awake at midnight so I didn’t forget this month!
This is my favorite line; loved it so much it went back and reread the poem just to get to it again :):
I have left a piece of me behind
for you to notice
just when you miss me the most.
Aww…thanks very much. 🙂
This is lovely. I often get reminders from my father and they’re all beautiful xxxx
Thanks Dianne. It is wonderful when they leave us little reminders. xxxx
So beautiful and so very true. Perfect timing.
Thank you very much. It’s nice to have signs every now and again.
