A memory, soft, it makes my eyes to water
As many events of life so come to mind
The maudlin rains, a facial recollection
A reminder of my youth and love that binds
I thought I had forgotten all the yesterdays
Truth be known they were always there, suppressed
As now I am reminded of the many people
Who contributed well, that make me now feel blessed
The many friends that guided me from darkness
The mentors at my jobs that came and went
I think of them so fondly on this morning
As time this morning, now, is so well spent
The memories, they make me smile so freely
As all of them so fill my heart with worth
The love, the blessings from so many people
Let me know I’m valued on God’s great earth
