I took some of my memories and some of what I hope my children will remember and put them into this song.

I Remember
by Wendy Stagner©2007

Tractor rides, balin hay,
groundhog hunting on a hot summer day,
gettin a dollar for some work I’d done,
and Grandpa handin me his best squirrel gun.

Oh, Oh I remember
When I go back to the home place ,
memories rush in that I can’t erase.
And I love them
I dearly love them.
Held in my heart they’ll always be
til the gates of heaven open for me
and I’m greeted by the ones I love
and I’m greeted by the ones I love

Bakin bread, snappin beans
sittin on the porch in the cool evening breeze.
Runnin through the clothes hangin on the line
and gettin a swat on my behind.

Oh, Oh I remember
When I go back to the home place ,
memories rush in that I can’t erase
And I love them
I dearly love them.
Held in my heart they’ll always be
til the gates of heaven open for me
and I’m greeted by the ones I love
and I’m greeted by the ones I love

Precious times, cherished ways
Nothing compares to those longed for days.
At night were words of wisdom before bed
from the Good Book we always read.
Oh, oh I remember
Wrinkled hands, Grayin hair
every step they made was with such care.
Trustin in the Lord that He’d work His will.
From the Bible we read, I have it still.

Chorus
