Think not how life has been unfair,
don't allow your soul
to go down in despair.

Forget me not
upon this day,
for my memory lives on
as long as you aspire
to grow and cultivate
what I have taught you.

Forget me not
as I take my last breath,
Forget me not
on this last night,
Forget me not
for I never leave you,
Forget me not
for my ghost I leave behind,
Forget me not
for I am never far behind you.

Forget me not
For I will never forget you.
