Remind Me
May the life of Bill remind me
To hear the beauty of birds singing
To move to the gentle beat of music
And to embrace the words of loved ones.
May the life of Bill remind me
Of gentleness toward others
Of ways to reach out to those around me
And to be a part of evolving friendships.
May the life of Bill remind me
That I can only live in the NOW
To say the important words (like)
“I love you”
“Thank you”
“I’ll be in touch”
And to say them NOW.
May my life shared with Bill
Continue to teach me
How to appreciate
And live my life fully.
