Today, I forgot to remember you. For once, I didn't give you a thought. I was able to get through my whole shift, Ignoring the pain your abcense has brought. Today, I forgot to remember the feeling, Of being held safely in your embrace. And for once on my drive home, I didn't slow down near your old place. Today I forgot to remember to call, To hear your voicemail play. I'll never again hear you greet me "Hey Sugar" Or tell me "Have a blessed day". Today I remembered to accept, That you have left and passed on. And though I know I will see you again, I wish every day, that you weren't gone.

Forgetting to Remember
Today, I forgot to remember you. For once, I didn't give you a thought. I was able to get through my whole shift, Ignoring the pain your abcense has brought. Today, I forgot to remember the feeling, Of being held safely in your embrace. And for once on my drive home, I didn't slow down near your old place. Today I forgot to remember to call, To hear your voicemail play. I'll never again hear you greet me "Hey Sugar" Or tell me "Have a blessed day". Today I remembered to accept, That you have left and passed on. And though I know I will see you again, I wish every day, that you weren't gone.
Dedicated to my Uncle Walter. I never had to doubt you loved me. You were my Uncle, my Grandpa, and the one who could always make me smile. Miss you forever. Rest in Peace.
