Remember me,
The voices sigh,
As dusky autumn moves across the land.
As breezes cool and light begins to fade,
Remember me.
Remember me,
The fathers call.
Recall my strong embrace that stopped your fall,
The stories shared, the secret pacts we made.
Remember me.
Remember me,
The mothers cry.
My smiles will light your dreams
and warm the nights.
My love will keep you safe when you're afraid.
Remember me.
Remember me,
The children say.
When seasons turn and turn again, and
young things grow.
We'll be in every tender leaf and blade.
Remember me.
