Do I Remember You? 

While I may not remember your name, I remember You.
While I may not remember your words, I remember You.
While I may not remember your face, I remember You.
While I may not remember your job, I remember You.
While I may not remember your birthday, I remember You.
While I may not remember your address, I remember You.

You remember your name and address.
You remember your words and some past memories.
You remember your face, your height and weight.
You remember your job and place of employment.
You remember your birthday and special occasions.
But do you remember You?

Do you know You?
Do you take time to remember your Essence?
Do you know what matters to you?
Do you listen to your heart’s longing?
Do you hear your inner voice?
Do you honor the precious being you are?
Do you remember to truly love you?
Do you trust you?
Do you set yourself free to be All you are meant to be?
Do you allow yourself to sing and dance, to create and play?
Do you give yourself some special time each day?
Do you remember you?

When we are together, let us remember more than our statistics, more than our history.
Let us remember more than our awards and more than our accomplishments.
Let us remember more than our surface social chatter and our easy conversation.
Let us remember more than our troubles, trials and tribulations.
Let us remember more that our politics, our preferences and peculiarities.

Let us remember we are one family.
Let us remember our humanity.
Let us remember the essence of love.
Let us acknowledge one moment of recognition.
Let us share one united breath of peace.
Let us touch that place of freedom to be with the Joy of Life.
Let us remember the Eternal Truth of who We Are now and always.

Loving you as I love me, remembering…..
