I Remember

I remember! I recall how good– no,
how great it feels to feel so good!
I remember the bright colours 
in the rainbows after a storm.
I remember the trees, the rivers, the critters, 
the peace of our world.
I remember how to get excited, 
to have goals and plans– fantastic dreams!
I remember the love I feel from my friends, family, pets, 
loved ones, who I’m lucky to have.
I remember that I can be grateful for all of 
the simple things that I am graced with in this life.
I remember to create, to write, and to draw, 
to bring about something new.
I remember the stars as they twinkle overhead, 
specks of light in the dark of night.
I remember that I can care for myself, 
love myself as much as I do for others.
I remember the joy I find in a good book,
in getting dressed up, in delicious food.
I remember flowers and rocks and bees, 
all of the tiny things I love to notice.
I finally remember how to live vicariously, 
how to enjoy and embody the free spirit inside.
