Trying to Remember
Growing up is really hard
When you are a kid.
That's mostly ‘cause
You don't know anything...
Or at least people tell you
that.
I think I knew lots of
stuff
When I was a
kid.
I just didn't know what
to do with it.
Now
that I'm older
I've
forgotten
most of what my
Dad taught me.
Like how to
fly and
Where faeries
hid.
How to put a worm on a
hook
And where the best fish
were.
I've forgotten how to
trust
The brakes on my
bike
And how good wet grass
feels.
There were days when
I didn't think
It would ever
get any better than
being
with my Dad.
It's all coming back to me now,
I
remember my Dad's love
and all that other magick stuff...
It was my grandchildren that reminded
me.
