On this very special day, I will remember you,
The love child of my heart.
My Memories of you are soft and warm
With them I cannot part.
I cannot lock away my memories
It is bad enough that you are gone,
But to hide and deny my memories
Would be so very wrong.
The sad times have mellowed out
The grief is not so new.
But fresh tears still run in my heart
Whenever my thoughts turn to you.
As long as my heart beats
My thoughts of you will be strong.
The memories and sadness are visitors still
But the sadness does not stay as long.
Each day it comes and goes
Like people through a revolving door.
The memories lift me up and make me smile
The sadness crashes me to the floor.
There are family and friends
Who have loving and happy hearts,
They let me share my thoughts of you
That is where the healing starts.
They are the ones who ask
"Do you remember when?"
And I see in their eyes, the smile on your face.
And the journey begins again.
So on the Very Special Day, I will remember you
I will give to others because you gave me so much.
I will reach out my hand with a smile and tear
Reach out with a friendly touch.
To those whose loved ones have become memories
And the pain is so fresh and new.
I will cry with them and hold their hands
And in my heart I will remember you.
