I remember summer days The sun filled mornings Our care free ways. I remember hide and seek Out in our yard From behind the tree I’d peek. I remember my teddy bear And All my story books A life without a care. I remember my tricycle But all I ever wanted was A “big girl” bicycle. I always wanted to be old I never appreciated my youth And now on to it I try to hold. My daddy was the very best Until that day When he was put to the test. They were fighting, my mom and dad I was only the age of five I thought I did something bad. Then daddy slammed the door left us behind My mommy was crying, I didn’t know what to do She said a new home we’d have to find. But that made me afraid I liked our house and wanted to stay But what my mommy said made it okay. She told me smile and do not to fret We were going to live with grandma And above all don’t forget Your daddy and I love you a very lot And no matter what we always will No matter how much we’ve fought. From that day forward I’ve always felt secure That was the worst feeling I ever felt Never again have I felt that unsure. How I long for my childhood The days of my carefree past Oh, how they felt so good. *I am sorry I meant Redwriter's challenge not Redletter's. My mistake.
