Bygone Days

Gone are the times when we did play
when laughter swept us through the day 
when sunshine filled the world we knew 
with petals wet from morning dew 
with lilac trees and sagebrush brooms
and e'er the sweet honeysuckle blooms

What would I give 
to relive 
an hour of bygone days 
when sunshine filled the world we knew
and laughter filled our days.

I have found over the years, that often times, our dreams, while not always exactly accurate, can be our own private time machines, taking us back to relive, what are sometimes joyful memories, other times not so joyful, but when I awaken from one of these, I am always grateful.
