Remember Me

Remember me?

I’m the person

You just passed

On the street.

I am human

And alive;

Remember me!

Remember me?

I’m that person

Who is poorly dressed.

I don’t have much money

And I may be homeless.

Remember me!

Remember me?

I may be your neighbor

Living near you.

See me

And get to know me.

Remember me!

Remember me?

I am that person

Who is so very different

From others around me

But I’m still human.

Remember me!

Remember me?

I’m gay or asexual

And other people

Don’t approve

But I am

As God created me.

Remember me!

Remember me?

I am Yahweh,

Your Creator.

All people are mine

And I love them

As they are right now.

See them all

As beloved children

Of mine.

Remember me!
