How Sweet It Is

In life when I’m running a marathon race on the rough and rocky road traversing the heath across the rolling mounds, low and high, I remember my childhood days that flew away far in the virtual space on the wings of an astral dove, disappeared like a star in the galaxy. I now search it in the milky way as starburst chunky clouds float on the sky above. In the good times like that of the jolly rancher still alive in me in wraps of whoppers, with my pockets full of goobers and my hands grabbing bars of Kit Kat and Tootsie Roll I got from the shop of Mr. Good Bar, I still see me as one of the three musketeers of the 5th Avenue whom people called smarties tromping the streets in fancy snickers, who played skittles and acted as lifesavers of the nerds, telling them to not empty their 100 Grand pockets on spending spree on pay day. As my time approaches the zero hour I go back to those candy days, try to live in the sweet memory lest I lose them now and later.
