Try to remember, imagine, embrace
A time in your pretty past.
Distant or near,
Time filled with innocence,
Hopeful with trust,
Facing the future void of all fear.
Kittens and puppy dogs frolicking free,
Prancing, pawing, kissing your cheek.
Sweet lies and mud pies and stories unending,
A brisk round of tag, hop scotch, hide and seek.
Rainbows and mistletoe…
Springtime to
winter…
Feasting
on cantaloupe…
Sloshing
in snow.
Basking in sunshine…
Scary ghost
stories…
Squishy
sop soakings
With
garden hose.
Creep past remembrance to times of enchantment.
Toggle the handle. Race through the portal.
Light up your eyes with the sparkle of fireflies.
Now…
Smile for the
camera.
Click! You’re immortal.
