Remembering

Remembering walks in the forest with my dad, Hillary Valentine, 

warm summer days, cool fall evenings, 

sweater weather shared with sis and mom, 

watched storms come in, 

Super 8 movie of the trees with the changing leaves,

yellow, orange, gold leaves piled on the ground,

kids rolling in piles, staining clothes, who cares, 

30 years from now and still recall days with Dad and little kids and trees with love.
