I remember you

And what you used to do

I remember your warm embrace

The smile on your face

I remember your comforting voice

It makes me rejoice

I remember your discipline and direction

As well as affection

I remember every chapter

All the joy and laughter

I remember your sweet soul

How you made me whole

I remember your home

Where my soul would roam

I remember your name

How you removed my shame

I remember purpose

How it rose to the surface

I remember how you lifted me up

Filled my cup

I remember your power

I feel it hour after hour

I remember you planting seeds

That led to good deeds

I remember what you taught me

Things that are meant to be

I remember the past

How we made every moment last

I remember all the days

Filled with your loving ways

I remember you moving ahead

While removing my dread

I remember you showing what’s real

Things difficult to conceal

I remember your encouraging word

Cause it deserves to be heard

I remember learning to stand

While holding your hand

I remember your lessons

They have become confessions

I see what God can do

I remember you
