Written by T. Davis

You know, I just should remind you
There will always be a yearning
While you are learning to live without them
Why do we feel this way
When their end is near
And the time is dear

As life goes along we don’t always stay close
And differ in views and opinions
Then we shed tears when they have departed
Their presence still lingering around us

Feel the lives we shared and hold it near
Know the love and the loss
Felt in the moments without them
Mother and Father, Mom and Dad,
Mommy and Daddy, Mom and Pop
And whatever you called them during life’s transitions
When they are gone
They can only return in our dreams
Memories timelessly carried on in our souls
Guiding us on life’s path
They shared with us so many years before

Never forget, always forgive
And remember this place from which you came
Remember the beginning of their journey
As well as their end
It will provide solace in wandering times
Memories of our parents’ love tugging our souls

Always, just remember, remember.
