I Choose To Remember

I choose to remember
from where I came,
I choose to remember
more than just the name.
I choose to remember
the essence of my being,
I choose to remember
with a sense beyond that of seeing.
I choose to remember
without remorse or regret,
I choose to remember
what others choose to forget.
I choose to remember
that all paths lead me home,
I choose to remember
that I am never alone.
I choose to remember
the best I can be,
I choose to remember
the God within me.
