I lift a box from under my bed
I'm Just  going to clean a bit
I run my duster over the top
But without thinking I open it.

Out tumble a mound of pictures
I smile but a lump in my throat I get
I see you girls dancing in the tutu
I fashioned from pink nylon net

And playing the bride in white
I'd sewn from an old white sheet
Sharing brownies with  friends
Your little oven made that treat.

The boys swinging in the hay loft
On the tire swing in the old barn
Right into a large mound of hay
Back at home at the old farm.

Remember the day you made wine
Crushing the berries with your  feet
That I had to soak in a tub of Tide
For a week this ritual I had to repeat

The ice skating rink we assembled
From the steel sides of an old pool
We built a fire and toasted mallows
And your friends thought it was cool

But then,as children do, you got older
Eventually we had to  move to town
But you made the adjustment well
With new friends and activities found.

And as you grew it was plain to see
You were happy and close to each other
And fortunately thats how it stayed
You still look out for one another..

I thank you all for the memories
You've so free and lovingly given to me
I would't trade anything in the world
For those days etched in my memory
