Memories

By Jesse Eastman

 

I remember when I broke my first bone

When we built forts during recess

When we had three pets

When I fell in the river

When I shot my first deer

I remember when we would go to Great Grandma Pearl's house

When we would play in her yard

When we would watch fireworks with her

When I fell out of her tree

When she was still here

I remember when we had our old dog

When she was young

When she could fetch sticks

When she would play with Shadow

When she was alive
