Innocence Remembered

In a lovely city, quiet and small. That aroma of French coffee set me reeling. With robins' wings casting lovely shadows on the wall. And my lavender morning candle,flickered as crystals on the ceiling. In this serene solitude,lingered memories of a golden childhood! Those humid Chicago summers, blest by a most golden sun. Trips to picnic in its great verdant,tall-treed woods. Divine innocence in all its glory, wrapped in a ribbon of unforgettable fun! Neighbors with whom we heartily dined and enjoyed. Roller skating and crashing onto the cement, oh so hard! We had red wagons to tote about our very precious toys. And, evenings on lawn chairs, a starry Midwest sky,in breezy-cool green yards! 5/30/2022

Ah, those little red wagons. Saw one about 2015 in the neighborhood, but not since. Oh, well. As you have charmingly described it, the end of an era... Irreplaceable. Thanks, Pangie.

So peaceful, those wondrous words.. By William Wordsworth “ though nothing can bring back the glory of the flower, of splendor in the grass, we shall grieve not! Rather find strength, in what lays behind.” I can’t hear these words read, without crying. As it applies to so many things! Nana Pangie
