Lightbulb Remembrance (poem) proofreading

Hi can you pleas check out my remembrance poem please let me know if things don’t make sens or you don’t understand what I am trying to say. thank you very much.



Remembrance

I remember when we use to walk long the shore,
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember staying up late in summer enjoying our ice cream and water melon,
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember sitting in my balcony and that beautiful breeze we open our arms to and relax.
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember the special kisses from everyone,
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember the biggest sleep over at her house and theirs,
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember the night walks,
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember the sun shinning with its pretty colour behind the house, and the bird’s shrills early in the morning,
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember the long farm trips we use to have,
I remember when my Tommy was about to explode form the apricots.
Oh yeah I remember,
I remember our Barbeques together, and sometimes the magpies and all their families would come for the leftovers without me inviting them.
Oh, yeah I remember.
I remember the race we use to do, and as usual I always won lozer.
Oh yeah I remember.
I remember feeding my cat tuna, milk and chocolate I wonder what she thought of it.
Oh, yeah I remember,
I remember my revolution at school
Oh, yeah I remember,
I remember when you entered my life and then left me with your repeated footprints in my memo.
I remember having fun here and there.
Oh, yes I remember
I don’t know if that’s all I can remember, why cant I fast backwards I say to myself?
Its time to move on they say.

Does it make sense? That's always difficult to answer with poetry, where the poet is free to play with grammar and meanings, etc.

I put the question mark there because you wrote "in my memo". I changed it to "in my memory". The question mark means "Did you mean 'memory'?"
