Remembering Me
Remembering Me
I dreamed of you once
You were just a child
Running through a field
Hair; tangled and wild
Reflections of the sun
Danced across your face
And I wondered aloud
How do I know this place
You sat down cross-legged
Under a magnificent tree
You were singing a song
With a familiar melody
I sang along; eyes closed
And tried to remember
When I had loved life
With as much fervor
Soft rain began to fall
So I joined you there
You made a daisy chain
And placed it in my hair
Ring-around-the-rosy
And hide-and-seek we played
Peek-a-boo and Simon says
A memory in time was made
I wish I could be like you
I whispered in the wind
Being free and young again
Enjoying games of pretend
I didn't think you'd heard me
You looked at me and smiled
I am you, you see here now
You've just been gone awhile
I'm a book you forgot you'd read
I've been hidden in your heart
Just take me out and dust me off
And you'll remember where to start
