I remember playing hide n seek
at 134 Dave Street
those were some good times
I wish I could go back there
and play care free like a little kid
I remember drawing pictures
and having them hung on her walls
she was always happy to hang them up
always thanked me and gave me a hug
I miss those days
I remember playing videos games
NFL Quarterback Club,
WWF Raw and others
and almost never winning
but it was fun anyways
I got to spend time with my brother
I remember the last time she baby-sat
there were lots of strange boys here
and I didn't know what to do
when Mommy and Daddy asked me about it
I didn't wanna get her in trouble
but I didn't wanna get in trouble either
in the end I told the truth
she never baby-sat again
I remember being nine years old
and afraid that I'd never see her again
she ran away
got mixed up with the wrong crowd
did some things I didn't like
I remember hating her
thinking I never wanted to see her again
and than came the day we found her
she looked horrible
in her button down blue plaid shirt
her hair was ratty and looked greasy
I wanted Mommy to go after her
but she didn't
a cop and her daddy chased her into Standard Fruits on Lowell Street
I remember all of these things
but most of all I remember
how much I looked up to both of them
I was only six when they moved here
now I'm 17 and she moved away
but he's still here
I remember that I love you guys!
and I'll never forget
the things you did with me
and how much you care about me too
I wrote this poem when i was 17...and it's about friends that I grew up with and grew to love from church.
