I remember when…

I remember when –

Saturdays were for cartoons

And sleeping in late.

I remember when –

Days seemed to last forever

And nights went to quick.

I remember when –

Christmas felt so far away

But was done too soon.

I remember when –

Birthdays were celebrated

And not so dreaded.

I remember when –

Mom made sure I was awake

And not my alarm.

I remember when –

Cookies and brownies were great

And not to be feared.

I remember when –

Life felt like it had no end

And the world felt huge.

I remember when –

Dreams were meant to be epic

And totally seized.

I remember when…
