Learning To Remember

Do you remember?
Do you recall?
Was I ever young at all?
Was I ever very small?

Do others remember?
Who was there?
Was I plain or was I fair?
Did anyone care?

Why don’t I remember?
Why won’t they tell?
Did I rebel?
Was it such a hell?

Who will remember?
What was said?
Did I ever wish to be dead?
What lies ahead?

Will you remember?
Will you stay?
Will you show me the way?
Can we begin today?

Will you help me remember?
Will you be my guide?
Will you tell them I tried?
Will you teach me pride?

With you I remember:
With you I begin anew,
Memories come into view,
I now remember how to
Love you...
