Don't Forget, Keep It The Same

2/17/2011

Crooked smiles Baring teeth The things Even heaven Cannot beat   The memories Of childhood Fame But never the real kind We were much too lame   Falling from trees We weren’t supposed To climb Screaming And crying As the pain grows   Laughing at The silly things Dad had done But never did we once Say it was dumb   Accidentally knocking Over moms Favorite things Then point fingers To see who would Take the blame   All these things We aren’t able To forget   All these things We have all Been through   Never trade Them away Never wish They didn’t happen Never say It wasn’t important   Every little detail Made the way It should be And that’s the way It shall stay

It's a shame that these wonderful memories fade as we grow older. If only we could keep them sharp and clear throughout our lives. This makes me wish that I'd kept a journal as a kid growing up. Wouldn't it be fascinating to read today? I like this one, Kaitlyn. You've captured that perfect feel of reminiscing.
