Remember Me
Remember me when flowers bloom
In the early spring.
Remember me on sunny days, In the fun that summer brings.
Remember me in the fall,
As you walk through the leaves of gold.
And in the wintertime remember me
In the stories that are told.
But most of all remember each day
Right from the start.
I will be forever near
