I like this one , especially that today 28/05 is Memorial day.
Remember
by Christina Rosetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

There have simply been too many thousands of poems written for me to ever select one as my 'favorite' poem.
But I will list here a few 'favorites':
The Waste Land - TS Eliot
The Bells - Edgar Allen Poe
The Second Coming - WB Yeats
The Emperor Of Ice-Cream - Wallace Stevens
The Troubles Of A Book - Laura Riding
Do Not Go Gentle - Dylan Thomas
What Are Years? - Marianne Moore
A Coney Island Of The Mind #5 - Lawrence Feringhetti
And many more ...

The Wandering of Usheen by W.B.Yeats

The silver apples of the moon
The golden apples of the sun."

I have several that my b/f has written over the years that attest to our love, God, our relationship, and our future together., Being that they are all personal I don*t feel that they are meant for sharing...sorry.
