Memories

I remember our first dog Cherokee,

A loyal friend and hard working hunter.

I remember school and recess,

Playing basketball and kickball on the playground.

I remember the red, white, and blue Fourth of July,

The inflatables and the grand parade.

I remember going down to the creek,

Playing in the cool water, and catching crayfish

I remember our round, blue, first pool,

All the hot summer days spent refreshing in it.

I remember my childhood,

And all the great memories I have.
