Don’t remember me when I go
For my grace
For my simplicity
Or cheerful face
Or even if I do
These are not what
I want to be to you
Remember me
For my dreams
For my fight
my extremes
For my toughness
For my edges,
prickly hedges
that can’t unsee
Inequities that reach
far beyond me
that I can change
a tiny piece of the world
I know it's strange
For being a misfit
For standing up
when I could sit
Oh and yes, remember me for my love
adoring looks
Nor sumptuous cooks
Few lavish presents
or evenings pleasant
And a home and hearth
to call our own?
Doesn’t interest me
If the truth be known
Remember me for my love
with the simple creed
that with you beside me
I have everyone I need
