I Remember

I Remember
Into the depths
of my memory,
in my mind’s
eye, I can still
see - playing
leap frog and
riding a horsey
on daddy’s knee

Gone now for
a while, yet
memories still
cause a smile

Time fades the sad,
all things good and
all things bad…

In the depths of
my memory, my
soul is pure and
my mind is free

And as I grow
in life’s time
table, I know I will always
be able to
come back
to memories
and feel the
love that
still surrounds
me from those
now riding
the stars above
