I remember the day

my baby brother was born

I think of his smile and stocking hat,

and the little blue blanket he’d worn


I remember christmas day

the tree wrapped in red and gold

eating grandma’s almond cookies

and playing out in the cold


I remember packing up my suitcase

to travel far and wide

from chicago to the black hills

to the cool florida tide


I remember the operetta

waiting for the curtain to rise

my yellow fairy dress

and singing “you can fly!”


I remember the day of homecoming

and the Friday night lights

bundling up in red and blue

and watching our players fight


I remember just yesterday

getting done with basketball

leaning against the window

watching gentle snowflakes fall
