Remember When Poem by Phil Soar

Remember when
our lives were single,
and we never knew
one day that we would merge together
and be known as two

Remember when
our first kiss lingered on,
as if to bless
the rest of our beginnings,
with a wealth of happiness

Remember when
the little feet that printed patterns
on that tiled floor
were more than we'd imagined
or were even ready for

Remember when
those first few steps
were now a large stampede
the noise and all the decibels
were vying to compete

Remember when
the high school days
were testing our resolve
the lessons learned a test for us
the problems always solved

Remember when
they left the nest
and all seemed sane once more
no feet to thunder through the room
no hands to slam the door

Remember when
we looked into our eyes
and wept a little while
had looked through many photographs
with fondness and a smile

Remember now
our future lies
with thoughts and reminisces
with strolls and loving episodes
and warm an welcome kisses
