Find the Eyes

Winning games, such a fun
Lingering doubts like a taste in the mouth
Tucked in a blanket, fears still run
A strong dreamer sent to scout

Sit quietly and listen, watch to know
Mornings are pleasant, evenings for a call
Face disturbed for bogeyman to show
Pranks they thought, off to bed and fall

Wink and smile to trick all of those times
She’ll be right beside and kissed goodnight
Gathered some courage to hold a new frame
In a child’s eyes, it’s a secret to hold on tight

Running hours like imaginations ran wild
Slip back to time where castles are made
Out of sheet draped across two chairs and tied
This brief moment draws a smile which never fades

In loneliness when you are past your prime
Take some time and absorb the pleasures
A time out and break into childhood time
Try to find the eyes back to your youthful leisure

Best, Kim :-) Login to Reply Noel Villarosa Date: 8/7/2015 5:48:00 AM Glad reading your comment here, Kim. Those were the gentle times where we don't need to worry about time except that you need to be in the house by the time your mother called you, it reminds me of my mother calling us with her loud whistle. Good moments also. (^_^) Noel.
