The sun shines softly on my face and I remember

The thunder crashes and the lightening flashes, and I remember

A dragonfly darts past me as I walk, and I remember

A dog barks in the night and wolves howl back, and I remember

Will I ever forget?

Will the memories fade, along with regret that they are just memories?

I sit around the campfire on a starry night, and I remember

I hear children giggling and sound of waves clashing, and I remember

A rainbow fills the sky after a gentle rain, and I remember

A joke is told and the room fills with laughter, and I remember

Do I want to forget?

Do I need to forget, to let go of the pain that takes their place?

The sun shines brighter now, and I remember

The thunder lulls off in the distance, and I remember

A dragonfly darts, a dog barks, wolves howl, I remember

I hear children giggling, the wood fire crackling, and the room full of laughter

I will never forget

I will go eagerly forward, with memories of joy and peace in my heart

I will remember.
