Remembering the past

I remember
walking down the street beside
father’s legs
taking a nap in Mama’s lap
talking to the pigeons in the park
I remember
my fuzzy hat, my yellow cat
my potty pot
I remember a lot

I remember
going out with my friend
with my happy go lucky buddy
I remember
the drain that I fall
the tree that I climb
the river where I swim
but I wish I remembered
what I forgot.
