There are people I remember
And some places too
But of all the people that I've met
I'll always remember you

Some people have been sweet
Some people have been kind
Some people have been cruel
Some I'll keep in mind

None of them were perfect
But I like them all the same
Because if no one's perfect
Who is there to blame

Of all the places I have seen
Of all of those I know
Of all the places in my dreams
I wonder where I'll go

There are people I remember
And some places too
But of all the people that I've met
I'll always remember you

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...not like the passengers screaming in the back of his car.

People stand out within our consciousness in positive or negative ways, some are just there.

In this poem you say, "But of all the people that I've met / I'll always remember you"

You left it up to the reader whether this remembrance is in a good light or a dark one. I go for the good light.

Your so smart Jerrypat. You must have talked to alot of people. Some things they should tell and some they shouldn't. Some say stuff in secret. Some say secret stuff in poems even. I don't care for any of that. He could always be trusted. That ONE is the one I remember.
