This is a poem for my Uncle Jerry who recently died. He is the reason I write & sing. |
How Do I Remember How do I remember our times When everybody says Time seems to fly by How do I remember your blessed smile How do I remember our memories That made our times worth while How do I remember all those witty things you said No matter what came out of your mouth We never let it go to our head How do I remember how inspirational you were? Some of the things you said to me Are already a blur How do I remember your awesome voice? Oh wait I have your record, I’ll always have that choice! Will I remember you as I did before? Or will I remember you as I saw you As I looked back walking out that door? I couldn’t say goodbye, for I know you’re with me You’ll never leave I feel you here Direct me as I go, if I’m blind let me see As I said my final goodbye I said something Before I cried I said you’ll always be a ringing in my heart Never leave me, I love you That was the hard part I looked back ‘til I could see you no longer Slowly the casket shrunk And that made it harder I still feel you here So whenever I feel alone I’ll know That a breeze means you’re near How do I remember all these things? I’ll just have to make due With what still remains. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
