If I Remember
Why is it that I forget the things
I'm told to do,
like picking up my toys before
I go to school?
I guess my mind is busy with thoughts
of other things,
like playing with my friends and
swinging on the swings.
And parents they don't understand just
how it can be so,
that we remember certain things
promised days ago.
Like a trip to the ice cream parlor
or a visit to the mall,
a picnic at the park or playing a
game of basketball.
I guess our minds are different than
grown ups seem to be,
I think I'll remind my mom of that
when she gets mad at me.
That is if I remember!

I wrote cute little poems for my children as they were growing up. I wanted to encourage them to love reading. Not take this life to seriously and enjoy every precious moment. We can all relate to these words because once in our lives we've been there lol
