Do you even Remember

Do you even remember
The trees falling over from
Your mighty axe
As we clean the land
For our homestead

Do you even remember
The glow of the fire
On our faces
As we spoke of our dreams
To live off the land

Do you even remember
Our pledge to toil
On fertile loamy ground
To tie the sheaves
To jump the broom

Do you even remember me
Who wiped your brow
Who slaked your thirst
Who nursed your hurts
Who gave you comfort

I am still here
A shadow of your past
As you are shadows in mine
Time will not rewind
But memories remind
