Written for Ovi Poetry Challenge 45: Season is our inspiration
Remembering my childhood toys
Yoyos and skates and other joys
And making signs that read “No Boys”
I had so much fun being six
Remembering my teenage games
My jeans always had brand names
How I teased and sprayed my wild mane
Trying to look so very cool
Remembering my salad days
Into your golden eyes I’d gaze
The Beatles were all the craze
But the Stones could really rock
Remember our newborn baby
We’d get some sleep at night maybe
Pregnant again this is crazy
That’s three kids in just three years
Remember our boys starting school
One plus one and the golden rule
Kids on the playground being cruel
A fat lip and a blackened eye
Remember the day our son wed
The champagne went straight to my head
We danced till we fell into bed
That was such a wonderful night
Remembering our grandchildren
I guess we got older but when
You haven’t changed a bit since then
You’ll always be my one true love
Remembering when you left me
You were here then gone suddenly
I keep asking how can this be
You weren’t supposed to die
Remember the springtime of life
The summer I became your wife
The autumns and winters of strife
I’m so damn lonely without you
