I Remember

I Remember

I remember, I remember
treasured days of long ago,
from the coolness of December
and the gentle sweep of snow.

And the righteous ones who shaped me,
made me hold my head up high,
gave me hopes that I could cling to,
reaching for the bluest sky.

And I thank the God above me
for their touch upon my life,
for the gentle ones who loved me
all along the paths of strife.
