I Remember

The soft voice of a little child

Speaking beyond their years

Sharing worlds of wisdom

Knowing more than most ever do

That's what I remember

The heartfelt giggle of one in pain

Such an innocent humor

With a hint of morbidity

From a life too short

That's what I remember

The presence of deep care

For anyone and anything

Always paying it forward

With faith, facing it all

That's what I remember

I remember
