Remember

I will always remeber the border, 

a line that is so man made no animals see it, 

a line that is so man made you have to prove your worth to get to the other side.

I will always remember the fear I had, 

passing through those gates, 

worried sick my parents would be accused of kidnapping me. 

But I will also always remember the connections,

a honk and wave that showed love for our neighbors, 

a land that we travel to almost every year,

to see family friends and ski. 

I will always remember, 

how beautiful our neighbor's home is, 

and how kind they have always been.
