what i love the most

remember when
we were little
you know around 4
or maybe even 5
and the whole world was in
the backyard on our swingset

remember when
love was a four letter word
that was used to let
your friend know
you'd give up your juice box

rememeber when
your biggest concern
was when you lost your
cookie and didnt know
who took it

rememeber when
needles where just things
used in the doctors office
once a year for that
nasty flu shot

rememeber when
televison was the only
place where broken
hearts were something
real

remember when
mom would make you
a PB&J sandwich just
so you can run and
play picnic

remember when
life was easy
and your skinned knee
was the worest pain you have
ever felt

remember when
watching the stars was
a nightly event during
those night games with
the neighborhood as one

remember when
best friends were always
there for you no matter
what because life was so
carefree

thats what i love the most
that we can all remember these
things because they are memories
and memories make life
worth living
without them we would be
empty
so live carefree like when we were
little around four or so
you only got one life
live it well

just one more minuts please

i go to bed each night
thinking its all okay
and wake up each morning
wishing it all away
just five more minutes is all i ask

pillow tucked in real close
as tears soak the soft case
the thoughts are blurring
as my mind beings to race
just four more minutes is all i ask

i sit there and be silent
though only for a tiny bit
my blood sugar runs low
as i grab my diabetic kit
just three more minutes is all i ask

i turn the tv louder
to drown away the sound
of the yelling and the screaming
for the pain that i have found
just two more minutes is all i ask

i close my eyes again
try to fall back to sleep
to dream somemore
of the one i couldnt keep
just one more minute....is all i ask
to stay asleep so deep
