Remember
for Debi Crawford
Before you go
You should know
That when we think of a smile
Like we do once in a while
We think of you
And when it's too quiet
And we want to talk
Why, we'll start toward your door
Forgetting you're not there any more
And then remember
But even with a selfish sigh
And asking why
We can only really wish you on your way
You will always be a friend
Because that's what you've always been
So we'll try to find
The right words to say
We wish you joy
We wish you success
We wish you hours of laughter
We wish you all of the best
We wish you what you'd wish for
What you dream of and believe
We wish you everything
And more
We wish you wouldn't leave.
