  1. I remember the strong smell of cleanliness surrounding my room,
    I remember the soft crying which filled me with delight and relief,
    I remember the taste of clear refreshing water, quenching my thirst,
    I remember the perfect, smooth skin which felt like silk rubbing against my body,
    I remember the piercing, green eyes that watched my every move.

  2. I remember the taste of leaves and grass covering my mouth,
    I heard the wind whistling past my face,
    I could see the trees and flowers waving in the breeze,
    And clouds floating across the sky,
    The sores on my hands brushing against the ropes,
    The leaves and grass suffocating me as I went to my doom...

  3. I remember hearing the ear-splitting noise of spinning rotors,
    I remember the whistling of dropping altitude,
    I remember the flaming heat of the fuel,
    I remember the camouflaged wings,
    I remember smelling the diesel fumes drifting down from the heavenly sky.

  4. I remember smelling the freshly cut, green grass,
    I remember feeling the bar coming into my hand,

  20. I remember the sound of the buzzer,
    Sarah has a friend,
    The fun won't end,
    The hot air in the sun,

    For me to eat ice cream,
    It is like a dream.

  21. I remember holding his hand,
    I remember him lying in his bed, his last burst of energy and he was laughing and telling jokes, looking really joyful,
    I remember the sound of monotonous beeping,
    I remember holding his hand and starting to cry and him saying not to.

  22. I remember the smell of chicken soup he'd always put on when we visited him,
    I remember I could hear his slippers shuffling on the floor coming to greet us,
    I remember every time I hugged him I could taste his powerful aftershave on the tip of my tongue,
    I remember he would always wear a woollen jumper that would feel really soft,
    I remember he would speak German to my mum and dad and now I can speak German.

  24. I remember the peaceful silence,
    I remember the dust from the rocks,
    I remember the sharp stones and thorns and the spots of insect bites,
    I could see four cities with mountains splitting them up and then,
    When I turned to my right my brother,
    Then on my left my dad is smiling and I hug him.
