Remember me as a child,
Not as a young adult.
Remember my playful smile,
Not my hardcore front.
Remember the way I laughed,
Not the way I often cried.
Remember times we shared,
Not the ones denied.
Remember me Cynthia,
As you go along in your day.
Remember me Elizabeth,
As you start to pray.
Remember me Dad,
I will meet you at the gate.
Remember me granddaddy,
Because I’ll be home to stay.
Remember me world,
I often pray someone will.
Remember my sickness,
Not my jagged little pills.
