Please Don't Forget Me

Please never forget me.
That is my one last wish for you,
before you go into the world
and do the things you have to do.


Please don't let me slip away,
the one thing that I ask...
Just keep me in your memory,
even far in the back


don't let go of my hand,
I'm scared to be alone.
I want to pause this moment
With some bodies hand to hold.


Please don't leave your past behind,
Of which I am a part.
I need to see you someday
So that you can mend my broken heart.
(Just please don't leave me here this way.)


(Don't let your past slip far away.)
Promise you won't forget me.
Promise that you will hold on tight...
If I know you think of me,
It just may get meThroughThis Night.

Appearance and Reality

To appear wise, one must talk;
To be wise, one must listen.

To appear to do good, one must be busy;
To do good, one must know when to stand aside.

To appear to lead, one must put oneself first;
To lead, one must put oneself last.

To appear caring, one must give advice;
To be caring, one must give space.

To appear to love, one must know how to give;
To love, one must know also how to receive.

To appear happy, one must smile;
To be happy, one must be free with tears.
