Do you remember me?

Do you remember me?

Those that still walk the ways and paths

That I once, long ago, did tread?

Can you recall what I looked like?

How I talked and what it was I said?

There must have been funny moments

And must have been stories to tell.

I was here... I was so alive.

And I remember it all so well.

Do you remember me?

I walked in warm sun, sheltered from the rain,

I took deep breaths on cold dark days

And snuggled up warm on long bleak nights.

I loved and I was

Amongst you all.

Surely someone can recall?

My name... it was mine...

I stood where you stand now:

Do you remember me?

Or you?... or you?

I’ll ask again...

Do you?... or you?

I carved my initials on that tree.

Did I leave my mark for all to see?

Or does time wipe it clear?

I heard the birds singing;

Sat in the seat where you do rest;

They tacked a little plaque.. there on the back,

But I see it’s not lasted long.

My family would remember me,

But, it’s sad, but they are all gone too.

Soon, maybe not now...  but it’s not far away...

When my name will be said no more.

Only documents and file

Certificate and for a while

I know my name it is still there.

But I’m not remembered else anywhere

I was alive but now I am so not

And I fear that I will be forgot.
