Remember Me 

Remember me when flowers bloom  

Early in the 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 winter time –  

Remember me  

in the stories that are told. 

But most of all remember 

Each day–right from the start  I will be forever near
