Click Here for Oh Very Young (with lyrics)
Above is a YouTube video with the lyrics to the song by Cat Stevens, Oh Very Young, which is a beautiful reminder for so many of us. Have you ever thought of what you leave behind when you say goodbye to this life? How will you be remembered? Will you take the love and connections with you that you’ve made on this planet? Will your memory remain with those who stay? What will those who stay remember about you?
I pray that your memory of me will be of love, kindness, compassion, connections, caring and grace. I wish the same for you with your loved ones and for all with whom you connect. You are such a special person, here for a Divine Purpose to love, to hold and to make a difference in a beautiful way. I was reminded of this today, so I will, in turn, remind you. ♥
Shine On!

I’ve thought about this often. I am aware that I have made many mistakes in my life, but I hope there have been, also, many positive contributions. I think “Love One Another” is an excellent commandment to follow.
Oh yes indeed! Love one another is an excellent mantra to keep as well! I believe we have all made mistakes. The trick is to not make them again and to continue to increase our positive outflows. ♥
I will always carry loving memories of your light and honesty walking me through my darkest hour.
We walk eachother home. That is life. I am honored to be there with you as you have been with me. ♥
Only Love remains 🙂 Keep shining my friend!
Yes indeed. Love remains! Shine On Saymber! ♥
Trying to keep shining my friend – we just have to keep lifting each other up out of the muck that is pretty deep right now! Love and Light back to you!
You will definitely be remembered for all that and much more!! I love this message. Thank you.
Thank you dearest Bobbi. I know you are remembered in my heart too. ♥
I had forgotten about this song. So beautiful.
I had forgotten it as well until a friend reminded me. It is truly good to remember. ♥
Thank you for sharing this. I hope I will be remembered as I remember every kind thought and action and have somehow forgotten anything that wasn’t kind or loving. A short memory can be a wonderful thing sometime.
I agree with you Marlene…You will be remembered for the good you have brought to so many. ♥
You have, indeed, already left a legacy of light and love, probably far beyond what you can imagine. I am proud to know you, even thugh we’ve never met in person.
Thank you Elizabeth ~ I know you will too because of your incredible loving spirit. Perhaps someday we shall meet in person. But until then, I’m grateful for our connection. ♥
Wonderful words, Yvonne. Well to be reminded of them and how important they are in each of our lives.

Thanks Alan…I thought they were apropos for so many of us!
I think of my dad who left us with the gift of love, love of life and compassion for our fellow humans, also a sense of humour when things got tough. I hope I am remembered for the same things my dad left me Yvonne.
