I Remember



I REMEMBER

By Eula E. Bourne

I remember the days of my childhood
When my world was so carefree
I could sit and play
With my dolls all day
Because there was only me.

I remember the days of my youth
As my world began to grow
There was school time
There was play time
There was so much I wanted to know.

I remember the days of my teen years
As my world just seem to double
Learning new things
About all that life brings
Trying hard to stay out of trouble.

I remember the days of adulthood
As my world continued to expand
Relationships
And family trips
As I ventured to other lands.

Now there's so much to remember
There's so much I can say
The world has become so much smaller
As it changes so much every day.
