Listen to poem:

Remember Me

Remember me, when I get lonely
Remember me, when I get scared
I'll think about the things you told me
And all the secrets we did share
I know you must have laughed a few times
And were disappointed many more
The gift of life, I was to cherish
But, I made it, into a chore
I will not pass the blame on others
'Cause you were there to lean upon
My excuses look so poor now
That my live is mostly gone
But what life, I have, I'm giving
I'm telling you, so you will know
I'm reaching out to all the living
To tell them how you loved me so
