I Remember

I remember the smell of crayons and erasers
Sunshine streaming through dusty glass
Stubborn youth and wrestling with time
I remember hope without compromise…
 
I remember unyielding friendship and honesty
Thunder through the hills
Longing to be older
I remember dreams of influence…
 
I remember pigtails and bobby socks
The smell of August rain
Fighting my innocence
The thrill of truth…
 
I remember Teddy bears and Barbie
The storms of yesterday,
Struggling to find myself
I remember liking what I found…
