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 leaves of gold;

And in the wintertime, remember me

In the stories that are told

But most of all, remember

Each day, right from the start,

That I will be forever near,

For I live within your heart.
