Remember Me, Remember Me Not
Remember me not as the old apple tree that stood gloomily in the yard
But by the crisp spring apples, which my mother made into pies
Remember me not as the rusty old bicycle
In the shed, but as the training wheels
That helped you learn to ride
And be free.
Remember me not by what I said and did
When I was mad
Remember me as a loving father, husband, and by
The kids we had
Although I am gone, never forget
Every victory we had, not our regrets
And please do not remember me not by the dirty
Clothes I wore
Remember me, my love, forever more.
