Welcome to

Poems about Life

These are the things I remember

The smell of fresh-mowed grass

Tomato sandwiches

These are the things I remember

My mother calling “Supper’s ready!”

No bears out tonight

Running a race – I had to win

With my cousin who was also my best friend

These are the things I remember

The willow tree

A stream near the house

Old bossy mooing up a storm

Cream flowing like a river in the milkhouse

These are the things I remember

Making ice cream on the back porch

Eating fresh made donuts

All the cats hanging around

Wanting to have part of the fun

These are the things I remember

Sitting on the hillside

Birds flying all around

The summer sun high in a cloudless sky

Lying on the grass and wishing I was grown up

These are the things I remember

And now those days are gone

Yet my mother still calls “Supper’s ready!”

My father still waits to give a smile

Would that it would always be that way

And I will always remember these days.
