this poem is still 'under construction', I just don't know how to express my feelings in a way that makes sense and sounds nice. If anyone's got any idea how to improve this poem, please write me. I'd be grateful for help. <br /> <br />Sometimes when I think of you <br />the memories make me smile <br />and I want to share them with you <br />so you remember me as time goes by. <br /> <br />Do you remember sitting on my lap <br />while watching TV? <br />Do you remember when you hid <br />and I forgot to seek? <br /> <br />Do you remember telling me <br />the secrets you couldn't keep? <br />Then Daddy got angry <br />and you hid behind my feet. <br /> <br />Do you remember eating ice cream <br />down by the inn? <br />I'd laugh and joke, <br />you'd smile and grin. (I took these 2 last lines from a beautiful poem, <br /> but I can't recall the title) <br /> <br />Running home you stumbled, <br />fell and scraped your knee. <br />Do you remember that the first person <br />you ran to was me? <br /> <br />Do you remember <br />when it got dark at night, <br />we laid on our backs <br />and watched the stars outside. <br /> <br />When it was time for me to go <br />you asked why I couldn't stay here <br />I told you then I had to go <br />but I'd always hold you dear. <br /> <br />I don't feel good in this house <br />so I'm yearning to walk out the door <br />But when it comes to you <br />I'm always craving for more. <br /> <br />You started beggin' <br />for another day <br />I couldn't stay there <br />but I mean what I say. <br /> <br />I may be burnt out, <br />wasted, empty and hollow <br />But when you call <br />I'll follow. <br /> <br />Do you remember we'd laugh <br />until we'd start to cry <br />I hope that's a good reason <br />to remember me by.... <br /> <br />Dedicated to my niece
