Ah to be three again

to have the world
by the tail
swinging
wildly

flying
by the seat
of our pants

the universe
lining up to
hand out opportunities

Like you, I often go back in time and wish to bring some memories back to life, Line! Alas, it's wishful thinking, but we are still in time to make the most of what lies ahead of us:) Regards // paul

Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Paul. Time is limited to get those memories down on paper.

We would have to be delusional, Arturo. We better stick with our memories of when we were three. LOL

Thanks, Ann. That's a photo of my brother and sister taken from the old family album.
