I Remember

I remember the touch of your hand

Your skin so soft

Gentle to the touch

I remember your gentle voice

It was never raised

Though it was loud

I remember the smell of your homemade dinners

Every day a smell that delights

The taste of my favorite meals

Still lingering the next day

I wonder how any one could ever forget

But the years pass by

And you get farther away

And I wonder

How can anyone expect the memories to stay

What if I forget your voice?

Or the things you used to say

I will remember you,

Until I see you one day
