I Remember

 

I remember,

Like it was just the other day.

I remember,

When we would laugh and play.

I remember,

Like it was a museum of dreams.

When I was hurt you would mend it,

You would stitch all the seams.

I remember,

Your red house with the swing in the back.

I remember,

The echo bridge, that was old and black.

I remember,

Candy and a kiss before we’d leave,

I remember how kind and giving you were to me.

And for those memories that are so sweet,

You are always in my prayers,

And always in my dreams.

Tree

A grandparent standing over its children

A place to hide in a game of man hunt

A perfect seat for the fire works

A stairway to the stars

A ladder extending to the sky

A chair for the snow

A resting place for the birds

A thing for the foliage to let go of

A pit stop for the rain on its way to the ground

The old tall tree in the back

A rusty nail at first glance

But truly a weathered

Loved

Part of the family

A winding

Bending

Growing

Tree
