I remember running through the fields,
to catch fire flies.
I remember my mom tellin me i needed a nap,
but i hated nap time.
I remember my mom showering me in kisses,
when i had scraped knees.
I remember my running from all the boys,
because they had cooties.
I remember my dads bed time stories,
and my moms yummy meals.
I even remember playing dress up in my
moms brand new heels.
I remember trying mommys lipstick,
while wearing daddys tie.
And when i got caught i'd just make up a lie.
I remember running to daddy at night,
saying there were monsters under my bed,
he would go in my room, and then come back
saying they were dead.
I remember crayons and coloring books,
trying to stay in the lines.
I remember snatching my brothers toys,
saying they were MINE.
Even after remembering all these things,
I wish i could relive the happiness that childhood brings.
