I remember, I remember
how my mind does roam,
all the way back to childhood
on my farm home.

The fun and the freedom
of life in the bush,
with no noisy neighbours,
and plenty of hush.

Fun with my sisters
and animals too,
all running freely,
not confined in a zoo.

As we became older
and moved further afield,
new sights and insights,
travel now revealed.

Other lands and other customs
all over the world,
brings back memories
as viewing photos unfurled.

Memories last into old age
when faculties lessen,
and aches and pains rage,
it's good to look back and listen.

God allowed early fathers
to live a long time
so they could experience
life with God sublime.

I remember little things
that I had forgotten about,
Ah, that was how it was,
I want to remember and shout.

So many memories,
over so many years,
is the beauty of old age
before dementia appears.

Each new great grandchild
is a memory to cherish,
watching their growth
on the internet with relish.

The memories of scenes
beautiful and strange,
as over many worlds,
my travels did range.

Sunrises and sunsets
in the east or in the west,
smoky or stormy weather,
showed up the best.

Now as the rain is pelting down
stories of floods in other towns,
stories of survival in extreme
cases, rescues not drowns.

flames devouring bushlands
people and houses too,
fire can be so very cruel
if only we but knew.
