I Remember..

I remember all the toys sitting in the yard,
  all of them just for me and my brother.
I remember sprinting so fast, the wind whipping your hair,
  than jumping into the water, it splashes everywhere.
I remember the worn out blanket,
  that protected you from all the monsters.
I remember all the forts made,
  so weak you couldn't breathe or it fell.
I remember the innocent obliviousness,
  there was nothing in the world besides fun.
I remember the nights spent outside,
  the shining stars watching you sleep.
I remember all the dolls,
  I was the best mother they ever had.
I remember the prayers with my mommy,
  praying for my aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends.
I remember the laughter that filled every day,
  bringing sunshine on a cloudy day.
