In remembrance

I remember when everyone was my friend. 

And that people only got sad, and nothing was really bad.

I remember when I was too small to reach up to the sink.

I remember thinking about how I couldn't wait till I got tall enough to reach it.

I remember the day when I wished I was shorter so that I wouldn't have to bend so low to reach the sink.

I remember when me and my friends could make magic potions from the flowers in my moms garden 

and we fought villains and built villages.

I remember we didn't pretend, we did explore caves and landed on stars all in my backyard.

I remember that my older brothers and my parents couldn't see all those things, and that there was something wrong with their eyes.

I remember the day when I couldn't see the rocket ships or flashing of swords any more.

I remember watching my brother play Ocarina of time, and the snow was falling.

I remember when we got our new dog.

I remember when that kite was trying to kill one of my brothers.

I remember playing night games.

I remember making bow and arrows from the willow tree.

I remember when the willow tree split in half in a storm. I cried that day for that willow tree.
