Do You Remember

Do you remember everyone that you met today All the ones you passed by, as you went your way The strangers on the street you went walking by You barely even saw them, did you even try? Do you remember all the ones who helped you out today The ones who blindly helped you when you worked and played. The people at your school, workplace and your stores The friends you have yet to meet and the ones you knew before. Do you remember the teachers that you saw today They interact with your children in so many ways It's not just the three R's, that they do you see Its making them the people we want them all to be. Do you remember your neighbors that you passed today They're the ones who make, your neighborhood so safe. They watch for those who could hurt you or the ones you love. They ask for nothing from you and for them that's enough Do you remember all the friends you talked with today. They're the ones who help you, when you're in disarray They ask for nothing in return for this precious gift Yet they are always there to provide that needed lift. Do you remember to remember every single time Someone passes through your normal daily life To not simply pass them as if you do not see Any one of them is a friend to be
