Remember Me

--for all the innocents who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001.

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.

Beautiful, poignant and generic enough to be used for other occasions. Thank you very much.

Eloquent and wonderful - the words fit and this chorus came to mind. My Brother sang the song Saturday night and it kind of stuck in my head.

cho: Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me.

Peace - Steve

Thank you, thoughtful GUEST. Very powerful.

Do you have a tune in mind? (Yeah, one came to me immediately, but it's your beautiful song.)
