Don't You Remember?

Why are you fearful and worried, my son?
Don't you remember the things that I've done?
You can't see where you are headed sometimes.
Don't you remember?  I healed the blind.
Trials may shake you, your sails may be torn.
Don't you remember?  I calmed the storm.
You don't know how your needs can be met now.
Don't you remember?  I fed the crowd.
You feel lukewarm and your life's full of dread.
Don't you remember?  I raised the dead.
Guilt seems to haunt you, but what can you do?
Don't you remember?  I forgave you.
You've lost your first love, how could you feel worse?
Don't you remember?  I loved you first.
Feelings of loneliness you can't subdue.
Don't you remember?  I died for you.
So why are you fearful and worried my son?
Don't you remember the things that I've done?
