Would you remember for me?
Would you remember for me, the way I held your hand, and cleaned your messes and washed your dresses?
Would you remember for me, the way I tucked you in and listened to your prayers and calmed your fears?
Would you remember for me, the way I read to you, and listened when you talked, and followed where you walked?
Would you remember for me, the way I painted your nails and curled your hair and helped you to feel grown up and beautiful?
Would you remember for me, the way I fed you your favorite foods and dressed you in your favorite color and always answered when you called 'Mother!'?
Would you remember for me that I love you with all that I am and if I could, I would still tell you every day that I love you?
Would you remember for me that I now need all these things, both small and great, even though I can't ask and sometimes I don't like to wait?
Would you remember for me that few people on this earth know how to mother me the way that I mothered you?
Five Four to be exact.
Would you remember for me, that even though I can't tell you, I still like to hear that I am beautiful, I am special and I am loved?
Would you remember for me....would you remember me?
