The Point

The Point

I'll see you in Pittsburgh
where the three rivers meet.
We shall have a picnic
merry part and merry meet.
The waters of memory
will carry us along
reliving old friendships
recalling ancient songs.
I've asked for my ashes
to be scattered from here.
I'll see you in Pittsburgh
when my end draws near.


Author's Note: I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. Been in Naples, FL since 1986. Three rivers meet at Point State Park, they form the Ohio, goes to the Mississippi, flows to the Gulf of Mexico. A fitting end to have my ashes scattered here.
