I Remember...

I remember we went to a beautiful area in Victoria called Phillip Island
I remember we travelled once a year to make beautiful memories and have a family trip together
I remember the time we spent in the spacious car because we were so little
I remember playing 'I spy' and looking at the beauty of nature outside our window

I remember when the two-hour ride was finally over, we got to a colourful playground
I remember the fun games we played like 'tiggie' and racing my family friends to the top of the playground
I remember after we got tired of all the running, we would find a flower field and pick multiple flowers to make a euphoric flower crown.
I remember running to my parents full of joy to show them what I made

I remember reaching the pier and overlooking the views and looking at what's on the other side
I remember looking underneath and seeing crystal clear water with lively fish swimming around
I remember feeling the cold breeze on my skin and taking in all the beauty of nature.
I remember hearing the waves crashing and seagulls wailing for food

I remember we all gathered together on a picnic mat to eat traditional Middle-Eastern treats.
I remember my mouth watering over the golden falafel that’s smothered with hummus.
I remember all the conversations and laughter we would have after enjoying a sweet dish.
I remember having left over bread crumbs and throwing them away to the small ducks back at the bridge.

I remember feeling freedom and experiencing immense fun
I remember looking at the beautiful view one last time before saying goodbye
I remember looking back at those photos and memories sadly because those memories have past
