ALWAYS

I remember
the first word you said
I still say it was "da-da"
so magical.
I remember
the twinkle in your eye
the way you would laugh
so loud.
I remember
your first taste of ice cream
you shook and shivered...wildly
so funny.
I remember
you doing the Hokey-Pokey
in your Spider-Man pj's
so happy.
I remember
reading you bedtime stories
always ending with your favorite
so peaceful.
I remember
your first day of school
waiting for the bus
so exciting.
I remember
your first 100%
I put it on the fridge
so proud.
I remember
you riding your bike
peddling so fast,hair blowing in the wind
so brave.
I remember
you believing every word I said
the look in your eyes
so loyal.
I remember
your hugs and kisses
they were endless
so warm.
I remember
just watching you sleep
I could watch forever
so tranquil.
I remember
your never-ending love
there every day,no matter what
so unconditional.
I so remember
all you've said and done,
always with me,heart and soul
so thankful.
