Five Years Old Once More

Five Years Old Again. . Temperature scorching The most beautiful day To idle away Sun smiled down perched upon my pew In the most vibrant unblemished Expanse of glorious sky That left one completely content And satisfied . I was by the sea sat upon a beach My pew Surveying the sights and hordes Of beach dwellers within my view People stretched out Soaking in the drenching sun While others played games And were having fun . Suddenly something captured my eye That made my heart smile For a while . Two rotundly middle-aged Ladies Suddenly stood up in bathing costumes Inflating them like balloons Facing each other They looked in each others eyes And without a word They understood each other and smiled . Suddenly the years departed They were five again And youthful hearted Then they turned And raced each other to the To the sea Like kids But what made me smile and a pleasure to see Was the fun look on their faces And look in their eyes Suddenly they again were five . Something that has stuck in my mind All this time We all have a inner child That longs to be free To have fun No matter who we be Life is for living Caring loving and giving Life is serious But it’s good To still be young at heart . I never knew who the two Ladies were Even today But that beautiful day by the beach I’ll always remember and won’t go away Had me wondering Were they sisters? Did they meet on that beach as kids? And become friends A halcyon story Without an end That encouraged me To pick up my pen. . Peter Dome©2020.
