I remember...

Wrote this in class in like 5-10 minutes. Had to be an "I remember" poem. Enjoy!


I remember scarped knees and torn jeans
I remember the way that you took care of me
I remember throwing you in the pool with my brothes
Obviously you let us do it, you were one of the cool mothers

I remember playing dot to dot with freckles on Dad's face
And the laughter that followed when he woke up in a daze
I remember vivid nightmares and scary dreams
Me crawling in your bed and sleeping inbetween

I remember the amazing chocolate chip cookies you make
Now I've got the recipe and my friends always make me bake
I remember the simple days of keds and side pony tails
I remember when Dad pretended to eat snails

Those were the days when nothing else mattered
When Santa was real and the fantasy wasn't shattered
I may be 22, but I don't think I've grown up
More scraped knees to come, wish you were in college with me to clean me up.
