Memories of Me

When I’m gone, what will you see? Will your memories be kind to me? Will all those moments that we shared Reflect how much I truly cared. Will my husband, remember our first embrace? The first time ever he saw my face Will he remember a blushing bride? My devoted support at his side Will my children remember my moments of bliss? A first smile, a warm embrace, a tiny kiss Tears of pride, of sadness and many joys My boundless love for my precious boys Will my friends, smile and say She could be fun in her own way Her friendship was a valued gift And sometimes helped my spirit to lift A lifetime of memories is quite a collection But I wonder, as I sit in reflection Will you remember me, As I remember me
