Do not forget those who remember you.
There are people in your life
who love you for who you are
not
what you do so
please,
do not forget those who remember you.
Fairweather friends are cool
when the suns out,
but the rain will
dwindle
their
number
down
to
a
few
and though they may return
when there's money to burn,
when the spotlight's back on
you
those who care
won't care
what you have to spare
because
to them
it's been a
pleasure
to have known you.
Believe me it's not who
says they love you
but who has
shown you
so I reiterate,
do not
forget
those who remember you.
I know we live in a world where love is a precious commodity,
where we turn away he and she,
hope costs too much, but the dissapointment's free,
and kindness is hard to come by or understand
but
I also know that when I was
at my
lowest point
there was always someone
reaching
down
for
my
hand,
so in appreciation of those who have helped to spare me from a worser fate
I can do less than reciprocate,
believe
you
me
no one who rushes to my aid deserves to wait.
I am thankful for all the people God has sent to me
on purpose,
never accidentally and I realize
that no matter how big your wings are
you
are
nothing
without the wind.
You see one of the greatests gifts I've ever received is favor.
Every ounce of benevolence I've received I truly savor and therefore
I love my neighbor
and
respond in kind everytime, I even pay it forward when I can when I can afford it;
not only do I let a good deed go unpunished, I reward it.
So if I have any say so over the way history records it
let it be made clear-
those who have done for me
in the spirit of sincerity
will never leave my memory.
So do remember those who refuse to forget you.
I am not asking that you do anything above your means
but what I mean
is that if
God's will be done
it shouldn't be so hard for us to be there for one another.
You being my sister
You being my brother
I suggest
we step
outside ourselves
and love like he intended; we have
nothing else to lose
but each other.
