Your love remains
Your love remains
Lord, You've been faithful to plant the seeds
And You will be faithful to always send Your rain
Lord, You've been faithful to plant the seeds
And You will be faithful to always send Your rain
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
Though the seasons change
Your love remains
Your love remains
Though the seasons change

Your love remains
When we were far apart
You came running with open arms
When we were far apart
You came running with open arms
When we were far apart
You came running with open arms

I remember this song! I worked at a "Dunkin Doughnuts" back when the doughnuts, muffins, and fritters were made fresh in the kitchen. Anyway, it was the winter of 1987 and I worked with this cool older black guy named Herman.
I'm sure he passed away decades ago because he was in his 60s and a very heavy smoker and had a horrible cough, even back then! R.I.P.
We made doughnuts for all the "White Castles" in Columbus, Ohio. We used to listen to this song on our delivery route, at least 5 times in a row, it was in heavy rotation on all the light FM stations! We drove a white 1985 extended Ford Econoline van! LOL!! I swear that van was so cold and freezing!!! Because the heat barely worked!! 😞
Shout Out to Sunny 95!! (One of the popular local light FM stations back then). Then they'd play "She's Like The Wind" by the late Patrick Swayze (R.I.P.) and then they'd play "West End Girls," by "The Pet Shop Boys."
But this song is the one that has been stuck in my head for 35 years!! Wow, where did all the years go?! I wasn't making money like I am today!! But this song for some reason brings back exactly what I was doing back then and where I was!!
I was 18 back then, and now I'm 54!! Seasons definitely change! WOW!!

Your kids are growing up in a different time than we did, Dee. As such, the things that make them happy may not necessarily be the same things that made us happy. They'll figure it out on their own, just like we did.
Have you ever read the following from poet Kahlil Gibran? If not, maybe you will enjoy it.
On Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet, 1923

When this song came out on the radio, I was attending P.S. 241 in Crown heights, Brooklyn.
Two tone jeans, acid wash jeans, the
"Adidas Patrick Ewing" sneakers, the
leather "V goose" bomber jackets, "lemon heads", "now&later", "jolly rancher", "Boston baked beans", "Garbage Pail Kids", "Atari 2600",
"Huffy/Bmx" bikes and etc!
I miss the 1980s so much!
The music,
the movies,
the fashion,
the culture and
the real human condition!
