Will you spend some time with me, my child? <br />Will you spend some time with me? <br />Will you think about me when I’m gone? <br />And what will be your memory? <br />Will the day when your first words you spoke <br />Be as clear for you as me? <br />Will the time your magic castle broke <br />Bring a smile for you as me? <br />Will the joy we felt at Christmas time <br />Counting needles on the tree <br />Bring a gladness glow within your heart <br />That’s as warm for you as me? <br />When I am gone these memories <br />Will be yours – no longer mine <br />That’s the gift that’s left by all of us <br />Our remembered parts of time.<br /><br />David Keig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-remembered-parts-of-time/
