I remember
The grass sliding between my toes
The soft kiss of the morning dew
My worries flying away with the breeze
I remember
Big open clearings
Chasing the cat
Tag, You’re it, and Make-Believe
There was no such thing
As you can’t do that
I remember
Around the block
Look no hands!
Skating the neighbor’s lawn
Running so fast
Not looking back
To see that everything was gone
I remember
Hot cocoa
Winter’s cold
Freezing Breath
Chills crawling up my back
Bundled up in Igloos
I forgot
Autumn’s audible ambiance
Summer’s seductive songs
Spring’s silent Serenade
Winter’s wonderful Waltz
As I’m growing older
I’m finding myself letting go
Of what I once held so dear
I refuse
To let go
I’m growing older
But I refuse to be old
I keep trying to hold on
To the simple things
I use to know
_________________________________________________________________________
Sorry
I did not mean to run away
And steal the stars
It was me
I crushed the yellow flowers
Petal by petal beneath my toes
I did not mean
To hurt you like I did
I’m sorry I ran
When you needed me the most
I promise you
I will stand strong
When you call my name
Here I am
Here I will stay
__________________________________________________________________________
You move me
Like an Earthquake
I get near you
My whole world shakes
Stop to say Hi
I can’t say a word
I shouldn’t feel like this
It’s so absurd
