I remember you You were the kind ones When I was small You took me to the beach On warm summer days We took the bus to Second Avenue You watched as I played in the water You never swam just cared I remember you You were Hawaiian Punch and chocolate cake We would walk to the A & P together A carton of Winstons for two fifty please Three flights of stairs where the angels lived Love and kindness always came with you And followed you wherever you went I remember you You let me drive your "60" Chevy On the way to Noble Street school I sat on your lap and smiled You loved me and held my hand The steering wheel made me feel strong Secure and confident as we guided That Impala down Campbell Avenue And when we arrived My day brightened again Our favorite teacher was calling it quits I remember you You loved me when my mother died And always believed I could climb any mountain I sought your guidance and you gave me your advice "You kid you Babe" meant go for the prize No matter how difficult the struggle Endure, prevail, love and feel passion Ask me another question Let me help you with the answer It's OK I remember you You have been so kind to my children You loved them like you loved me You kissed them like they were your own And like me you gave them your Special gift of understanding and listening Your patience and undying support Every birthday every Christmas every time I remember you The spirit of love fills me When I think of you The world of possibilities seem so real The space of time so small But today is a wonderful day To say thank you for it all |
