I Remember That Day

I remember riding home 
Stopping for pictures of the sunset
Eating potato chips
Going to bed

I remember waking up
She was off
Off to race
Off to her unknown

I remember eating the food
Grandma’s homemade food
Biscuits, gravy, sausage
Every Time, delicious

I remember watching tv
Turning off
No service
Calling mom

I remember the drive 
Getting there
Mom answering the call
Hearing about it

I remember she was hurt
Waiting
Scared
Caring
I remember learning
Learning she is dead
Crying
Dying

I remember the sorrow
The hurt
I remember the support
The caring

I remember her life
Her legacy
All that she did 
Everything she was

Everything that she is
Everything she will always be
I will remember
Remember I always will
