Things To Remember

I need to remember
those things
resting in the back
of my mind

next to how to
find the circumference
of circles, and who
wrote Moby Dick.

I need to remember
stuff I already know,
those things I haven’t forgotten,
just placed in storage.

God is good.
He is with me.
He has plans for me.
I’m a family member.

Slowing down to grasp
at these bits of Heaven,
the comfort I didn’t find
but found me.
