Does It Bring Back Memories

Yes Wide eyed And Oh So small Little man He fits In both my hands I still know How to hold The little one "Does it bring back memories" Her question Stayed with me For days Than weeks Flowing along Past Distant times In that Expanse Of memories Times four I explored Cuddles Hugs The first Fresh As a field Of shinning sunflowers If that's what you call A Delivery room Or humidicrib Does not matter Those cuddles Are there Fresh As with the smells Pinetarsol Talc Their hair Blankets And tears Reaching Reaching for up With hugs Those pains Away Bed time Hugs Love you Never To much But one hug Eludes me Can't remember By four The last One The last Time I pick up One of four For a hug A ritual In love Faded Without Within Fanfare or acknowledgement A transition Without notice Or A reason to recall That which I cannot recall Until now So many Years later So many years To late
