Remembering When

I remember when during a night dream
I was involved in a soccer game
And I was leader of the losing team
So, when woke up I felt an endless shame.

I remember when I was a clumsy child
Trying with the bicycle to run around
I fell to ground and my father smiled
I still remember of the crash the sound.

I remember when I had to tell my love
To a splendid girl I wanted really much
But when approaching I lost my glove
And lost the occasion to get in touch.

I remember when my mother told:
“Take care of memory of your life
You will remember when becoming old.
Have happy moments recalling your strife”

I remember when the negative events
Occurred me in winter and in fall
When people had their criminal intents
And the worst thing : I remember all.
