Re-Memories

RE-MEMORIES

Though we all are not famous

Or do notable things

In our own little worlds

Our notoriety springs

We've been big sisters to follow

Big brothers to bug

Fathers to cuddle

Mothers to hug

We all have our stories

Our laughter and tears

We are harboring memories

And teased for our fears

Each family seems the same

Though is reality quite different

Life is forever a game

With some form of commitment

Someday in a cemetery

While reading the stones

Someone will have commentary

Of our story they've known

They will remember us somehow

Here's hoping it's good

We may raise an eyebrow

But we thought that we would

I hope they will laugh

As our story they tell

And we are listening from Heaven

Instead of from hell
