About This Poem

Youth



In the deep recesses of my aging mind Are images of life long ago Joyous images of fun and laughter Of loving hearts all aglow The passage of time is of no consequence Images of youth still remain Halcyon days of laughter and good cheer Peace and happiness reigned A dreamer is what I've often been called But with my advancing years I tend to reminisce a whole lot more Remembering my joys and fears My very first date, my very first kiss A newly discovered love Euphoric feelings my head a-spinning Giving my heart a shove No matter my age sweet memories remain Great days of unbridled youth What would I do if I couldn't recall This time of innocence and truth In the deep recesses of my aging mind Are images of life long ago Joyous images of fun and laughter Of loving hearts all aglow © Jack Ellison 2012

    There was a time of memories before Trolls... but they make good memories too... Happy memories to come!

    I am glad you share that. I was wondering... I am glad that the memories follow us. So I guess now is the time to make memories huh? Awesome, Jack. Like I said a while back, I don't have a lot of firsts. I am sure I will add more of them to my resume :) Enjoyed!

    The older I get, the more I look back at my younger years! Had an amazing life all things considered... no complaints!
