Things I Remember
Fires on the woodstove, playing house all day
Driving the tractor a million miles away
These are things I remember.
No TV to watch, no phones to ring
Staying outside, playing Queen and King
These are things I remember
Shucking corn, shelling peas
Eating blueberries as we please
These are things I remember
Exploring the barn, new finds each time
Gathering pinecones for a dime
These are things I remember
Rainy days, one trip to the playground
Kids with muddy clothes, his eyes gazing down
These are things I remember.
Receiving a quilt, knowing he’s proud
Seeing his smiling face in the crowd
These are things I remember.
Longer naps, trips every week
A mischievous smile tries to peek
These are things I remember.
Warm hugs, big heart
Knowing we will never part
All the things that I will remember.
