Remember Me
(by unknown author)

Remember me when the Flowers Bloom
Early in the Spring,
And on Sunny Days, Remember Me
In the fun that Summer Brings,

Remember Me throughout the Fall
When You walk in Leaves of Gold,
And in Winter Time, Remember Me
In the Stories that are told,

But Most of All, Remember Me
Each day right from the start,
As I shall live forever more
And I will live within your heart.
