I Remember

I remember when you came to the end of your journey
and traveled that last weary mile
I forget all of your frowns
and only remember your amazing smile

There were no unkind words spoken
but only good deeds you had done
I forget all of your heartache
and only remember all of the fun

No more stumbles and blunders
and falls along the way
I forget all the battles lost
and only remember those won at the end of the day

Even still I grieve for your going
and sadness finds me every day
I forget that this world should be a happy place
and only remember where you now lay

But when evening comes on your anniversary
and the sun paints the sky in the west
I will try to forget all of my sorrow
and remember all of your best
