Memories

A relaxing evening awaits me.  As I settle
down by the fire.  In the distance I hear
the sounds of the creek.  Many days I
have traveled there.  The natural order of
things.  Birds sing, small tadpoles swim
the croaks of the frogs.  The buzz of bees.
All the childhood memories flood back
on me.  A smile breaks through the
face of content.  Those were happy times
I relax to sip a cup of cocoa and remember
tales told to me by my mother.  The 
laughter that filled the home.  Stirs a 
longing in me.  Anxious I am to build 
such memories for a child of my own.
For now I enjoy the relaxing evening
by the fire.
