Remember

Remember the dark days; through the sun was bright.
Remember the hunger in your stomach, but a beat in your step.
Remember the aches and pain, but you endured another day.
Remember, the heartache being childless, yet you birthed eight children.
Remember, all you endured, yet, you are still here; in me.
Remember your sacrifices; yet, you remained humble.
Remember HIM because HE has not forgotten you, for I am here;
the very essence of you.
