Poem By Connie Hughes

 I Remember



I stand here and watch the clouds roll by

I want to forget, but I can’t no matter how hard I try

The years like liquid spill out before me

I want to escape but there’s nowhere to flee

I see you in the summer playing in the sun

I see your beautiful smile that said, you were having fun

I remember those sweet days, when we didn’t have a care

When you danced and twirled and put flowers in your hair

I remember the times we spent laughing and playing that silly game called I spy

Now those sweet memories make me cry

I remember your little hands and how they felt in mine

Now only memories lost somewhere in time

I remember Christmas mornings and squeals of pure delight

I remember bed time stories and tucking you in at night

I remember the owies, you know the one's  I use to kiss

Now if I could only close my eyes and make one wish

I would go back and savior the moments I had with you

In the grand scheme of things they now seem too few

But the years are moving swiftly so when my life is done

I hope you’ll remember me standing in the sun.
