TWP Creative Theme - Catch up session #3

The theme was MEMORY:

Wow... three catch ups in a row. I think I've lucked out with this one because several years ago I wrote a poem called "I Remember." So, here's my contribution (late and probably never to be read by anyone else) on this The Writing Parent Creative Theme.

I Remember

I recall...

the happy days,

my childish ways,

the chicken-pox,

white bobby-socks,

the games I played,

the plans I made,

the teenage talks,

the peaceful walks,

the swimming pool,

the private school,

the cooking class

I barely passed,

the lessons learned,

the times I yearned

to be elsewhere

without a care,

the hopeful dreams

and hopeless schemes,

the loves i had:

some made me sad -

when they would end

I'd lose a friend,

the seasons past,

years flee so fast;

time has flown by

and now I sigh

"Je me souviens...

I remember."
