Will you remember me, when I am old
Remember all the things I've ever done
And tell along the stories you've been told
The stories of my life, which have long gone

Cause they have worth for someone, I am sure
The life I lived, I did not live in vain
Go tell them how I loved my roses pure
In early mist, with little drops of rain

And when I'm gone, don't grieve too much my dear
For I was happy in so many ways
So keep the humor that I loved to hear
Cause with the humor, also laughter stays

Though my life has reached almost september
I won't be old, 'til I pass december

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

(smiles) Oh Titia, you are loved by so many, dearest friend, and me and so many others will never forget you because of the many hugs and smiles you give to the world! (kiss on cheek) Your loved ones will always think every day of you and be happy for who you are and always being true to yourself, sweet friend, that is why I am putting my vote on this so your children and their children can always read this gorgeous sonnet in the pages of this special book, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

September or December, I'll remember you. How could I possibly forget?

Nice work... I love sonnets when they're done correctly, and this is.

how could I forget you, unless I have Alzheimers in which case I won't remember me. This is a definite contender.
