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 August 6, 2015

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.
