Remember Me

Speak of me as you have always done,

Remember the good times, laughter, and fun.

Share the happy memories we’ve made,

Do not let them wither or fade.

I’ll be with you in the summer’s sun,

And when the winds chill has come.

I’ll be the voice that whispers in the breeze,

I’m peaceful now, put your mind at ease.

I’ve rested my eyes and gone to sleep,

But memories we’ve shared, are yours to keep.

Sometimes our final days, maybe a test,

But remember me, when I am at my best.

Although things may not be the same,

Don’t be afraid to use my name.

Let your sorrow last for just a while,

Comfort each other and try to smile.

I’ve lived a life full of joy and fun.

Live on now, make me proud of what you’ll become.
