The children are shaping memories
Using paint, crayons, clay to express
What only they know best.
Scraps and crumbs land on the floor
Something I once wore.
We all have been here before.
Looking at the rest of a dress
Knowing you didn't expect any less
Collecting little pieces
nonetheless.
Memories come in all shapes and
sizes
And stories colored with new
surprises
Wide-eyed wonder and adventure
An old memory and a new venture.
