I Remember You
The world may never noticeIf a rosebud doesn't bloom:Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,Or ever comes to beTouches the World in some small wayFor all eternity.
The little ones we longed forWere swiftly here and gone.But the love that was then plantedIs a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,Our hearts know what to doEvery beating of my heart says"I Remember You"
