This poem was written by a friend of mine.
Forget Me Not
Forget me not, my darlings dear
I sheltered you from want and fear
I covered you with timbers strong
Protected you from shadows long
Forget me not, I beg of you
Remember how I helped you through
The storms and snows and rains of night
My windows let in morning's light
Your children born within my frame
I nurtured them when trials came
I shared your sorrow in these halls
I felt your laughter through these walls
I now am old and almost gone
No one's here, I'm all alone
Time has passed and can't be caught
But this I ask: Forget me not.

| Wow, Denise! I love that poem. It reminds me of the old houses that my husband & I have renovated over the years. It's so fulfilling to bring life back to an otherwise forgotten home. |

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

| Denise, this poem is beautiful and sweet! I wonder what it was like when it was alive with a family for possibly generations? |

| I loved old houses like that - so many memories they have held for someone and so many possibilities for the future. |
