Remember When?
They’re younger than I am.
We’re talking, creating new memories. Memories that remind.
A daughter, my son, a sibling. They recall a time together.
Good times, family time, quality time.
Some I don’t remember. Some happened when I was younger than they are today. Memories that remind.
I’m still getting used to having old stories to tell.
They’re younger than I am.
