Things That Remind Me

The smell of fresh cut grass
Yelling from the crowd of the winning team.
Seeing the Sun come up and watching it go down
And the fish that are swimming in the stream.

The uniform that you used to wear
Or you going for a touch down.
Golfers swinging their clubs trying to hit the ball
And when I see eyes that are brown.

The summer sun warming my face
Smelling the flowers and watching the clouds.
Even when the rain comes crashing down
And every time I think I see you in a crowd.

The smell of eggs cooking in the morning
Coffee brewing from the kitchen.
Seeing the house we grew up in
And the memories of how things were then.

The site of white cotton T-shirts, blue jeans and sneakers
Making homemade ice-cream.
Even thanksgiving at grandma's house
And every time I see you in my dreams.

There are so many things that remind me of you
Even though they were so long ago.
Holding on to these memories has helped me
And these memories I will never let go.
