Do You Remember

Do You Remember when you first saw him smile, And he reached out and took your finger Do You Remember when he took his first steps, And you reached to stop his fall Do You Remember how quickly he learned To assert his independence Do You Remember how proud you were But you didn't want him to know Do You Remember when he lost his first tooth And he placed it 'neath his pillow' Do You Remember the nights he would stay And amaze you with his questions Do You Remember the sports events you attended And the concerts to hear him sing And Do You Remember the plans he made As he worked so hard on his first car Do You Remember? Of course You REMEMBER! But Always Remember how peaceful he looked, Asleep in the Arms of Our Lord Cile Beer This poem was written to a friend at the loss of his grandson in an auto accident
