We Never Forget
There are things in
life we forget until
they are mentioned
again,
Like when your first
child had spilled on
the carpet causing a
stain.
The time a family
member falls while
dancing bringing all
a smile,
As they sit on the
floor amazed at what
had happened in a
grand style.
When someone trips
over their own big
feet falling down on
their knees,
Looking like they
are asking forgiveness
or is it marriage
everyone sees.
Watching your
child’s face when they
have their first
shower,
The eyes lighting up
as they get ready
to scream with all
their power.
Riding their two
wheeler for the first time
and falling on their
behind,
No one showing them
how to use the breaks
before hitting all
they find.
Always finding new ways
of coming up
with new scrapes and
bruises,
Looking like a life
size Band-Aid ad to show
its many different
types of uses.
Standing by as your
child is getting ready
for their first
official date,
Totally amazed at
how fast they had grown
keeping their proud
state.
With us parents
strutting with pride of this
little child which
has grown,
Into an Adult with
the life of honesty with
honor which they
call their own.
They have shown us
they do not have
to stay young and
very wild,
The biggest part of this time is when they
give us our first
Grandchild.
