about

This track lines up with Chapter 4 of River of Grace where I reveal how a lifelong love of Louisa May Alcott helped me with my grief over my mom and led me to a vocation as a writer

lyrics

I Will Remember You
(for Louisa and Lizzie)

I call you "friend"
Though you lived long before me
It’s your words, your wisdom
shining through
the stories told
of the losses and heartache,
of triumphs and the hope that make
me want to live like you
And now I find your spirit in
the pen on the page
You’ve become my muse, my guide
My sage

I will remember you
In the flowers on the hill
Your voice may have been silenced
But your words they always will
Live in my memory
And when I look upon your face
Your life is what I will recall
And what I will embrace

A child-like heart
Tucked away in the shadows
You could not hide your inner light
With every smile
Every deed through your sorrow
Today and through tomorrow
And through the bitter night

Your legacy of selflessness
I take to my care
To emulate your kindness
Is my prayer

I will remember you
In the flowers on the hill
Your gentle soul residing
In my heart, remaining still
In my memory
And when I look upon your face
The love is what I will recall
And what I will embrace.
