ok

Sam

I remember the life
The two of us have shared
The fun we've had
Along the way

I remember the nights
When sleep never kissed our eyes
We'd have eggs the next morning
Of a very lazy day

I remember the girl
Who saw us as superheroes
And the games we played
At the park

I remember the houses
We made from bed sheets
And watching movies
Long after dark

I remember The Unicorn Guide
Our vivid imagination
And the stories of magic
We would tell

I remember dances
We made in your pool
And the back fence over which
That tree fell

I remember our film
Worthy of an Oscar
And the Wet Walruses that still
Make us laugh

I remember when "Sam!
...just stole that thing!"
And the rail at camp that
Snapped in half

Now
I await the weekend
When I will hold you again
And we'll go see a show
Together at last

I await your birthday
When we celebrate your being
And be awed by all you've done
In the past

I await the day
When your struggles are gone
And finally your heart
Will be free

I await growing old
With your hand tight in mine
Our Jar of Good Times
Beside me
