I Wake

I wake 

I wake to close my eyes just to remember of yester year:
Years of long ago, when life was so simple then, dancing in
the rain, feeling droplets of water run down my face.
Again I wake to close my eyes to remember my first snow fall,
like a white cape covering the land and a crystal palace on the
morning dew.
Again I wake to close my eyes to remember the joys of childhood
to my teenage years.
Once more I wake to close my eyes to remember the joy on my 
mothers face, watching me grow into womanhood.
I wake to close my eyes to dream now.....
