The Little Things

I want to remember the little things

The first notes that lead to a melody

They say time is funny

The days are so long

The years seem to hurry

The dreams come and gone

How I want to remember the little things

The dinos that dance on piano keys

They screech and they roar

Songs of wild carnivores

Who are hungry for more

Wilderness to explore

Oh please let me remember the little things

Time rolls on -- It waits for noone, no matter who you are

Time rolls on -- It has no love for the weak of heart

But I want to remember the little things

Coffee time tag on the trampoline

Rolling in the fresh laundry

Playing hide and then seek

Under warm towels and sheets

Your laughter so sweet

Yes, I want to remember the little things

How I’d rock you for hours in sweaty sleep

Then you’d stir and reveal

An innocent grin

Saying “Mommy, I found you”

Gently nestling in

So, just try to remember the little things

No matter how hazy or hard it seems

They say time is funny

The days are so long

The years seem to hurry

Our lives come and gone
