Never really liked poems...

Make a list of memories you have of your mother.

I don't have any memories of my mother. I have memories of things concerning her, but none of HER. So, I decided, instead, to make a list of memories I have as a mother. And, this form-thingy seemed interesting, so I figured I'd give it a whirl.

I remember the first time I felt my son kick... It's a strange feeling.
I remember the first time he was in my arms. I was afraid I'd break him.
I remember the first time he laughed. It was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
And I remember, every day, wanting to ask my mother if I was doing everything right.

I remember that it was snowing the night my daughter was born... though, I don't know when it was.
I remember telling her stories, at night, of her father, and wishing he was there to see her.
I remember the day I had to let them go, and I'll never forgive myself for that.

Even though I have them back, and they're happy and healthy...
I remember that every day is one day closer, and I'll make the most of every day. For me and for them.

And, hopefully, my favorite memory is yet to come.

Okay... so I might have changed a few words in there.
