I Remember

I remember my first Mideval fair,
with pageantry and jousting.
It changed my life forever.

I remember reading Beowulf,
when I was only 10.

I remember The Lord of the Rings,
both the books and the movies.

I remember my first poem published.

I remember first watching Star Trek
when I was only 4,
With my yellow shirt and wooden chair.

I remember Star Wars, back in '97.
Remastered in theaters.
Starting with 4.

I remember my first action figure.
It was Luke Skywalker.

I remember when my brother was born,
Back in 1999.

I remember my dad reading to me.
I remember the New Millenium.
I remember Y2K.
I remember starting elementary school.
I remember my first new friend.
I remember starting High School,
with a stomach full of butterflies.
I remember graduation,
tears streaming down my cheeks.
I remember Model UN and the
friends I made there.

I remember so much history.
Family vacations, fun places.
I remember day trips to the city.
I remember museums and movies.
I remember many birthdays, shared and separate.

I remember the story of my life.
