I remember <br />The times when we <br />Watched the sunset <br />I could see the reflection <br />In your eyes <br /> <br />I remember <br />Sitting on the brick wall <br />Along St. Angela’s Street <br />The time when you almost fell off <br />And cracked your head open <br /> <br />I remember <br />Chasing butterflies <br />At Wolf Brook <br />No matter how hard we tried <br />We couldn’t catch up with them <br /> <br />I remember <br />Lunch times at school <br />The dinner lady looking at you <br />With surprised eyes <br />Because you wanted extra veg <br /> <br />I remember <br />When you told me the news <br />Leukaemia <br />That one word <br />Keeps sounding in my head <br /> <br />I remember <br />Seeing you there <br />Hair falling out from the chemo <br />Frail and weak <br />Not being able to stand <br /> <br />I remember <br />Trying my hardest <br />Not to break down and cry <br />At the sight of seeing my best friend <br />Hurting and in so much pain <br /> <br />I remember <br />Walking down long corridors <br />Visiting your hospital bed <br />Wanting to stay with you <br />Forever and never leaving your side <br /> <br />I remember <br />That phone call <br />All the tears I shed that day <br />And all the tears I’ve shed since <br />You passed away <br /> <br />I will always remember <br />Watching the sunset <br />St. Angela’s Street <br />Chasing butterflies <br />Lunch times <br />Leukaemia <br />Holding back the tears <br />Long corridors <br />Phone calls <br />Losing my best friend <br /> <br />But most of all <br />I will always remember you.<br /><br />Anni Sane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-remember-loss-through-the-eyes-of-a-child/
