Remember ©

When you think of me,

     Think of the way the spring air blows through your hair
     And the sun warms your face.

When you think of me,

     Think of the unrestrained laughter of children
     Smiling up at you in admiration.

When you think of me,
   
     Think of the words spoken
     Helping ease the sting life brings

When you think of me,

     Think of those songs that make your soul sing
     Seeping through your skin into the depths of who you are.

When you think of me,

     Think of a kind embrace
     Perfectly timed.

When you think of me,

     Think of the first time you notice
     One of the simple beauties life brings.

When you think of me,

     Think of the way your soul is satisfied
     When you succeed at something you love.

You may not think of me,
At times you may forget me.
But that's okay.

     Think of me in the little things,
     Held in quiet moments,
         
          And remember.
