The Find


Small yellow notepad,
the right size to slip into
a shirt pocket.

An inheritance.
Perhaps
a message?

Most pages empty. 
Neat blue printed lines
waiting unfilled.

On one page, notes:
'Memoir.
Write the truth.'

His writing, 
In the blue biro
he always used.

Then a space of a few lines
before the words,
'& end'.

    Wow, a blank, or almost blank, pocket notebook tablet is a great find. Does it have Internet capability? Better watch out, the GPS tracker might find YOU !!
    I once started an online-composed memoir but haven't added for a long time.

    I find the written words of one who is lost is something that I cherish greatly.

    This really moved me. Poignant isn't a word I use much, but this is.

    Agree with MZ. We so want a message left behind or some testimony of what was. Writing the truth is a good message and one you have followed here. And follow generally. Thanks. K.
