Will You Remember?

Will you remember-

when my life has ended?

Or will you dismember-

my memory?

Will you visit me-

at the cemetery?

Under the old oak tree-

is where I’ll be!

For me, will you pray-

every day?

Will I stay in your heart-

like in the very start?

Or will you forget me-

and me, never come see?

Will you be with me-

at the very end?

Or will you send-

a friend?

Do you love me-

as God meant it to be?

Was our life together-

worse or better?

Did I treat you right?

I tried, with all my might!

Though my life will die-

my soul will fly-

and watch over you-

Until time is through!

Never doubt that I’m there-

I will be everywhere!

And when you think of me-

come to the old oak tree!
