Remember Remember the mud smudging all over your face and the parents shivering watching you play rugby. That was winter.

Remember the time when you're drinking that boiling hot chocolate and the children roasting yummy marshmallows. That was winter.

Remember the time when the fog dimes out the light and the children screaming when they hear thunder. That was winter.

Remember when the trees are rustling together and people at the speed of light to get to their house. That was winter. Remember I am a child I am all these things in my past. At kindy garden and all the kids are screaming. And my Dad having a compound fracture. I am all I see When I am swimming. When I am riding. I am all I hear When my ear is shcreaching when my dad is in pain. When the waves are calm at the beach. I am all I feel Feeling the water as I glide through it. When I feel the air bursting into my face when i'm riding my bike. I am all I taste I taste the ice block running down my throat on a summers day. I taste the toothpaste as i'm brushing my teeth. I am all I remember I remember the time when I won my first swimming race. I remember the time when I played my first rugby game. I am all I have been tought How to use a bow + arrow. How to swim. I am all these things deep down inside me. I am a Caterpillar and all these things are my cocoon. But one day i'll emerge and break free and become a man of the world.
