Remember that cold winter day,
The new year just passing by.
Remember the gift it gave you,
The cries and screams. Remember that child.
Remember taking her home,
The face she made. Remember the people,
Anxious to hold her.
Remember her eyes. Remember how the curiosity
Beamed from them.
Remember those tiny fingers,
Gripping onto your own.
Remember how she grew. Remember
Her fondness.
Remember that dreadful winter day.
Remember how you practically gave her
Away. Remember the screams.
Remember the cries.
Remember her face at 10,
The day you said goodbye.
Remember the girl. Remember me.
