remember

What does it mean to remember?

a snuggle makes a memory

a snowbank makes one, too

I remember mountaintops,

chasing after deer

learning tricks from grandma

the sweet scent of my mom, mmmm

snatching meatballs,

I remember a tree growing in the livingroom

and balancing on a log

I've got a lot of memories

I wonder where they are kept

Maybe in a big round blue cookie jar

with a tight lid

Like my dog biscuits,

Where there is room for many more and they are kept safe.
