Do you remember me?

With childlike heart whispered

Promises on bended knee

Oh lord as I struggle here below

Do You remember me

My young and undamaged

Soul so quick to believe

Those who loved you once

Would never leave

Do tell, do You recall me

As a child I’d pray

Bless the sick and troubled

And bring good to stay

I truly without question embraced

 all of the wonders of You

What You saw in me

I lost the vision that you knew

The road led me away

From the warmth of your hold

Once guided by a blinding light

Now left blind, my soul gone cold

So many chances to return

The gift of all of the grace

Now I sit in the darkness

Do You remember my face

Running thru the rays of sun

Precious You cascaded down

Paving recklessly traveled streets

 in this now abandoned town

The bridge I see before me

Seems so shaky and steep

Unearthed promises scattered

Shamelessly I did not keep

The question uttered from

Trembling lips tonight

Do you remember me

My breath still til morning light

My head bowed down

Coming to rest on my knees

Hair brushed from my face

By a calming breeze

My chin turns towards the sky

And my mouth opens wide

The answer has come like a beacon

You never left my side.

The morning light stretches fingers

As a blind one reads a stranger’s face

The skin that held the lines I’ve drawn

Are instantly and perfectly erased

I hear the answer on the notes

Of the birds flying in skies of blue

How could I ever begin my child

To  remember when I never forgot you
