I Wish I Could Remember Poem by Kyle Schlicher

The day I was born.
I know for a fact
it was in July
and early
in the morning.
Was it bright and sunny?
Was it raining?

Did I make my
grand
entrance
and bow to the audience?
Say thanks to my mother
who
put in a lot of
time
and
effort
to ensure my safe arrival.

Or
did
I
come in screaming
complaining
about the entire
experience?
Demanding
milk
because I was hungry
and thirsty?

I wish I could remember
the day
my mother never forgot.
