"I Will Remember You"


Sights and Sounds


Sometimes it's a sound,
birds like we listened to,
or the music she liked to hear;
Sometimes a smell,
like flowers, or even the
shampoo she used;
Sometimes bacon frying,
or the pudding she liked.
Over and over, every day,
I think of my mother,
and tears flow.
I was so tired, but why
did I give up?
Those were the best times,
the only really important times
in all of my life.

--May 1996

"I Will Remember You"
"I will be walking one day, Down a street far away
, And see a face in the crowd and smile.
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past.
I will remember you...
So many years come and gone,
And yet the memory is strong.
One word we never could learn--Good-bye.
True love is frozen in time;
I'll be your champion and you'll be mine.
I will remember you."
