Childhood Is But a Blink of An Eye

(For my twin granddaughters) In pursuit of life’s perfect dance Never sombre was your welcome Tender kiss when leaving at night, Countless memories; come to light. Many heady dreams made joyous In pursuit of life’s perfect dance With laughing eyes and gambol curls, This: the golden dawn for my girls. So soon the seasons in cycle The distance between us enhance In pursuit of life’s perfect dance, Oh a moment; your face to glance. I’ve seen your loving tenderness In happy feet given the chance Gliding across flamboyant stage, In pursuit of life’s perfect dance! © Harry J Horsman 2011
