One More Time

Memories...
One more night just chillin with Brian in the dog room
One more day seeing Ernie chase Jordan with a broom
One more Friday night at Aunties, fish with mac&cheese for dinner
One more afternoon getting beat up by Sharel wishing I was bigger
One more Christmas with Gam, she never got the right size clothes for present’s lol
One more random appearance from Kippy when nobody requested his presence
One more race away from Staci as she chased first me then Jordan for kisses
One more tear fall from my face every holiday because once again my Dad was missing
One more summer pretending I was just another 1 of Tameka's kids
One more fight between Brian & Jordan as Mikey D sat watching with that great big head
One more day wondering how different it would have been if Omar was still here
One more phone call from my Dad on holidays wanting to know everyone who was there
One more first hair cut from Monique because Gam and Auntie said I look like a girl
One more day Sharel making me play with Barbies like I was just another toy in her world
One more July afternoon wasting time playing video games with Brian till we couldn’t even feel our hands
One more cold December night curled up by the heater at Aunties laying with Sam
I feel kinda bad for the kids coming up now
Never getting to really understand what it meant to go to Auntie or Gam's house
If you ask them where Gam and Auntie lived they would say those apartments and the high rise by the old KFC
Makes me feel special yet bittersweet that me and Brian were the last kids to stay the night on Finance Street
I’m sure the next generation will make their own memories and legacy
But the memories I share with everyone from Micky D to Aunt Tish, are something this new generation will never have over me
