Remember when
Everything seemed uncomplicated
School, home, friends and pets
Indoor or outdoor games together
Late night stories chatter
Into the darkness then a deep slumber

Emerald dreams that we can’t remember
Never did we complain much
Curious and carefree, nothing really mattered
Everything, we thought would last forever
Remember when
Everything was at stake
Schedules to meet money to make

Laughter, Hope and Happiness
It was a magical chase
Everything moved so fast
New beginnings we thought would last
Careful plans and thoughtful moments
Everything, we thought would be unbroken

Everything became different
Sickness, death and separation
Incidents as tests from the Great Designer
Life truly is a reminder
In another sense, a short journey
Embedded in our memory

Eventually, that only the Truth lasts forever
