Remember Me

Remember me when roses bloom
And spring returns again
For I am ever present in your midst
In the dawn and in the wind

You mustn’t think I’ve gone away
For good – Instead remember me
The way I was in better days
The way it used to be

Remember me as I am now
Alive, at peace, and free
There is no place for sorrows past
Is just a lost memory

For life derives its’ purest joy
In living day to day
Follow what I’ve taught you
And REMEMBER ME, this way….

Dorothy Womack
