I remember happy days

Happy days that came and went with ease

I remember early times

Early times when our ears could hear a please

–

I remember selfish days

Days before your spirit needed all my help

I remember tiny you

You before your choices made me welp

–

I remember all the tries

Tries that seem, in hindsight, wastes of time

I remember all the laughter

Laughter swirled mellifluous like chimes

–

I remember all the tears

Tears that still don’t seem to dry the fears

I remember all the smiles

Smiles now only seen in the mental rears
