I remember the day you were born. <br />From school, I found you home, <br />When I heard you cry, I ran and <br />Happy I was. <br />There you lay comfortably, wrapped <br />In new towels. <br />Dear me! Angelic you looked, <br />Tender you felt. <br /> <br />I remember your first ‘step’, <br />We all sat watching TV, <br />Gently you tried 2 steps and fell. <br />Jeez! We all clapped and laughed, <br />Oh! ! you shyly closed your eyes to cry. <br />Yes! everyone had a good laugh then. <br /> <br />I remember when you lost your front teeth, <br />Funny you looked -but cute you were. <br />When you smiled everyone had a great laugh, <br />Oh! How you kept people happy and joyful. <br /> <br />I remember your first day to school, <br />Really eager you were to get there. <br />Later you got tired of waking up in the mornings, <br />How funny you acted when faced wid school! <br /> <br />Now that you are gone, I’ll remember, <br />I’ll cherish the moments we spent together, <br />I’ll remember your laughs when I went wrong <br />And I’ll always remember the way you loved me. <br /> <br />Above all, I’ll remember the last day I saw you, <br />Like the day you were born you looked, <br />Angelic and peaceful you lay, <br />Though young you looked eased, <br />And forever I shall remember…<br /><br />mona miles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-shall-remember/
