QUOTE : Remembering Life Jacob Nordby “Hello,” says Life. “Remember me? We started out together here When you were just a bundle of amazement. Remember how you saw the world With nothing but wonder? We were such rowdy playmates then. We painted on the sky with clouds And made magic out of Clothespins and peanut butter. Remember, can you, how I became stained and heavy With trouble? Not safe now. So much no. They dressed me in painful clothes And made you wear them, too. You don’t recognize me, do you? But I’ve never abandoned you Or lost my wild, happy desire To show you Play with you Kiss you Hide and seek down twisty paths And always discover more. Want to run away with me again? Shall we elope without ever leaving Because that’s possible, you know. I’ve never been anywhere but here Waiting for you To remember.
