don't forget.

I remember being the prophet boy, I remember not letting my teachers down, 4.0 four years in a row. I remember getting my first -A. I remember my first kiss. I remember how we made a mistake, I remember how that changed everything I remember when I started missing church. I remember when I started averaging 50 missed periods a term. I remember still holding a 3.7 gpa, and for some reason being proud of that.  I remember my testimony and it walking out the door. I remember going to my graduation. I remember college. I remember her leaving me, I remember crying, My face had been dry for awhile. I remember her coming back.things would never be the same but I remember getting married. I remember our first kid. I remember the interview, I remember my job, I remember the desk and the clock. I remember my 5 kids. I remember going grey. I remember finding him at the bottom of a cliff half dead and the other half of him wishing he was. I remember that forever. I remember cancer. I remember my mother and fathers grave only with mine right beside them. I remember death. I remember it. I remember god now. I remember all the mistakes. I remember the carrots. I remember loving life. I remember my kids. I remember everything being alright in the end and that's really the only thing keeping me from hell.

THANKS FOR ALL THE OLD FOLKS

Let's not live,
"I woke up,
I'm so old,
I couldn't believe it,
Some never love,
Until the day they drop dead."
