Remember Me Mother

remember when you had me , a bouncing baby girl
remember when i busted my lip riding that 
bike off the front step
when you told me not too.
remember when i was baptized
remember when i had my first communion
( i looked so pretty in that dress)
remember when you first showed me how to cook, 
the first time i made dinner for you 
remember when i became a woman the first time
remember when i left home to go away to school
remember when my first child was born
remember my first house
i say these things to try to get you to remember 
because you can't. Alzheimer's took away everything 
that you used to remember mother.

Remember, please remember me mother

I Am

i am a singer
i am a citizen
i am a barber

i am a painter
i am a Samaritan
i am a matchmaker

i am a wise person
i am a daydreamer
i am a seamstress

i am a stargazer
i am a nurse
i am a write

i am a mother
i am a voter
i am me
