I need to remember
What I have forgotten
The lost wonders of a childhood
The forbidden delights
Of splashing in a puddle
Of running through the rain
The innocent joys
Of laughter without reason
And quickly drying tears
I have forgotten now
But every now and then
Your mischievous smile
And excited voice
Your reproachful looks
And spontaneous hugs
Serve to remind me
Of all that I need to remember
