'member?

'Member back in the day when we lived in that trailer,
And when the wind blew the roof would rattle and shake?

'Member when the only sound that would put me to sleep,
Was the soft pitter patter of rain drops?

'Member when I was tiny and the idea of anything taller then you,
Would make my eyes water and my bottom lip poke out?

'Member?

You told me that if it stuck out any further,
Then you would land an air plane on it?

'Member?

And then you went whoosh and put your finger on my lip?

'Member when I would wrap my tiny little hand around your giant finger?
And you'd look at me and smile?
And then you'd place soft butterfly kisses on my forehead.

'Member when the rain would start to fall from the sky,
And I'd stick my tongue out to taste gods elixir?
And the rest would fall like ballerinas at my feet,
Splattering your legs, and all of me. 

'Member?

'Member?

Please tell me you 'member?

'Member when I'd try to make rain angels,
And you'd laugh at me?

'Member when I'd come home soaked from the rain,
And mommy would be mad?

'Member?
....
....
....
....

Daddy 'member?
I 'member.
You 'member?
I know you 'member.

I 'member like it was yesturday.
I was smilin and laughin and dancin on my tippidy toes.

'Member daddy 'member?
....
....
....
....
It's ok if you don't 'member,
I 'member!

            that is true heehee I love that you have pink and black hair I think that is such a pretty colour combination. I have black hair and was going to get pink streaks but apparently you have to bleach the parts first then die them ppink, and at the hairdressers i went to it was gonna be so expensive so i didn't

    The rain can be very inspiring for poetry muse...my favorite lines from this were: 'Member when the rain would start to fall from the sky,
    And I'd stick my tongue out to taste gods elixir?
    And the rest would fall like ballerinas at my feet,
    I 'member alot of fond memories from my childhood, too...
    YOur AP daddy likes this one!!!*Hug*

    Blessed Be,
    JEremy
