I REMEMBER

I remember as a child chasing after my dreams

I remember how excited it get each morning

Walking down the corridor to my classroom at kindergarten

I remember the fun of playing on the field and chasing bees 

I remember mom's special Sunday dinner and the joy of holding my bible to church

I remember the time I used to fly kites over the roof

Mom was always running out of threads, I was always running out of line

I remember my first ride on a bicycle and the bruises on my ankle

I remember watching snails crawl underneath potatoes planted in my garden

I remember my first day in high school, the urge to want to explore the world

I remember how shy I was asking a girl out on a first date

I remember broken moms precious plates and the beaten I got afterwards

I remember life and the choices I made

How I have become a grown man with responsibilities and care

I remember the colors of the moon, stars and the beauty of sun flowers

I remember you, for been a part of my life today

I remember God and thanked Him for helping me get to where I am this day
