Every once in awhile you may hear a song that touches your heart and make you cry. When ever we hear Remember When by Alan Jackson I can't help but feel it was written about our family and I cry.

 Remember When 

July 11,2025

By Rose Marie Rideout 

 

When I look back through the years,
I see the life we had to live.
The rough times and the good,
We never had too much to give.

Our hearts were so filled with love,
We shared it willingly with each child.
They had food and a roof overhead.
But the hard times was just for a while.

You soon joined the Military Dear,
So you could give us a better life. 
Knowing that you would be away,
From your children and your wife. 

The children soon grew up,
Through the years, they left home.
As each left it broke our hearts,
In our elder years to be alone.

Today we still remember when,
Years ago, how our love had a start.
Starting our family together with love,
We knew we would never part.

 Reviews of "Remember When"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on July 11, 2025
Your poems tell us of a typical American family. Not many poets come from that kind of wonderful memory. Most poets have experienced life in a way that is not typical, and therefore, feel they have something to say to others about that experience that may have been way back when, or just yesterday.

But we all write from our experience. It's all we have to share.
