remembering you on memorial day

small town
you already did your tour
runnin about town in that souped up camaro
i liked you instantly
packed all of our belongings
but we made it
barely
tumbleweeds, tarantulas, but where are the cowboys?
settled in fine
young but not alone
you know, 1+1=3
we'd sit and rock
you'd both fall asleep
second tour and you were relieved
where you relieved?
i'd watch you two
gymnastics, t-ball, motorcycles, soccer, football, 3 wheelers, basketball, hockey
you did it all, he did it all, we did it all
i'll never forget
what you gave
for him
for us
3-1=2
