REMEMBER ME

"Remember me in the days ahead
For only the forgotten are really dead.
I want to live; to stay alive
so help my memory to survive.
Talk of me when you visit friends.
If there is trouble, make amends.
Keep new memories clean and sweet
so they are welcome to repeat.
So think of me and feel my love
And I’ll send memories from above."
