Do you Remember?

Do you Remember

being a kid and climbing

trees? Do you remember

diving head first

into a pile of leaves?

Do you remember

having pinecone fights?

Do you remember being

tucked in at night?

Do you remember carving

pumpkins? Do you remember

setting the table? Do you

remember being young

and able? Do you remember

pictures with Santa? Do you

remember trick or treating?

Do you remember show

and tell? Do you remember

smelling Grandma’s cooking?

Do you remember playing in

the street? Do you remember

playing hide and seek?

Do you remember

getting allowance? Do you

remember the first time

you rode a bike and finding

your balance? Do you

remember shooting for

the stars? Do you remember

asking “are we there yet?”

while crammed in a car?

Do you remember how

different things used to

be? Do you remember

wanting to grow up?

Do you remember

game nights with family?

Do you remember what

you wanted to be?

Did you forget where

you came from? Did you

forget how simple life was?

Did you forget how to love?

Did you forget what

got you here? Did you forget

the innocent child filled with

youth? Did you forget losing

your first tooth? Did you

forget that life is a gift?

Did you forget where

the time went? Did you

forget all that you’ve

done? Did you forget?

It’s okay if you don’t

remember. Memories

tend get crammed down

as we get older. It’s okay

if you forgot. Don’t be

hard on yourself for

trying your best.

Just remember that

you’ve grown into

a person who has

a story to tell. Just don’t

forget all will be well.
