I Remember

I remember watching planes
I remember sitting on the counter,
looking at the CN tower
I remember the pool that we could,
never swim in
I remember the dog named storm
I remember the toy store
you always took us to
I remember crying under
the kitchen table
I remember the spaghetti and
chicken soup you used to make
I remember when you coughed
so hard and loud
I remember the bird bottles
I remember what you smelled like
I remember you talking about the
Holocaust
I remember the story about your
earrings
I remember when you laughed
I remember your smile
I remember your hugs
I remember your kisses
I remember how you were awake so
early in the morning
I remember the rings you gave me, and still
have them
I remember the little toy birds that chirped
when you hit your cane on the table
I remember YOU
and I always will...
