I remember you; In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
I remember you; in the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer,
I remember you; in the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn,
I remember you; in the beginning of the year and when it ends,
I remember you; when I am weary and in need of strength,
I remember you; when I are lost and sick at heart,
I remember you; when I have joys I yearn to share,
I remember you; so long as I live, you too shall live,
For you are a part of me, as I remember you.
66 years ago you came into this world and made it a better place. It's been 35 years since you were taken away and I still miss you every day. Love you forever.
