Remember
Remember playing hopscotch
Remember skipping rope
Remember chasing butterflies
Remember having hope.
Remember having your first crush
Remember sneaking out to be with the one
You thought you loved so deep with out a doubt
Remember getting your first kiss, from the boy
Who held your heart.
Remember when he said good-bye and tore it all
apart.
Remember how proud your parents were the day you
Finished school, the feeling of such accomplishment made
You feel so cool.
Remember your first apartment
Remember paying rent
Remember the day you feel in love with a man that angels
Sent.
Remember the day your daddy cried as he walked you down
The isle.
Remember the look of innocence on the face of your first child.
Remember your babies first few steps
Remember sleepless nights
Remember the worry watching them grow hoping
Everything turns out right.
Remember crying as they left home
Remember the stillness of being alone
Remember the days that are gone by
Remember the days to come
But most of all remember your life and all the things
That you have done , Remember.
