Remember when a twig could be a sword?
A rope a snake, and you were never bored.
Remember when you could laugh for hours.
Or pretend all day that you had super powers.
Remember when you hated vegetables.
Had to sit there staring at them on the table.
Remember when energy was limitless for you.
Couldn't sit still for a moment, not even at school.
Remember when mom would kiss your hurts.
After falling off your bike into the dirt.
Remember when you realized it was gone.
Like afternoon had been born from dawn.
