Remember

Do you remember when you first went to school How you were so small and vulnerable Every thing was so big and nothing Were you used to at all But you gathered your confidence and knowledge With each passing day And had lots of fun in learning and play When you had a problem Or got hurt when you fell you’d run And tell your mum And she’d kiss it away Do you remember those teenage years And your life was full of hopes and fears When your body was changing From a young girl to a woman And you played on your looks to every attractive man Everything was so exciting as your independence began Your first kiss was a nightmare before it arrived And when it was planted you were walking on air Waiting for the next one Taking the next step if you dare Staying out, partying and getting drunk Going wild without a care. Do you remember your first love When nothing else mattered But to see his smile To lay safe in his arms forever and a while You can never forget the greatest love You carried them for nine months Nurturing and keeping safe Until you pushed them out into this world Overwhelming and gushing At tiny little limbs Protecting and guiding as the cycle once again begins.
