My Memory

My Memory 

I walk through a field of endless breeze
Glancing over at the pond near the trees

Remembering when this was an empire
Nothing more could a little boy desire

Missed are the days of adventures past
Replaced by a world moving to fast

Water trickles along through a windy creek
Here my memories belong, ones like these all should seek

For in this moment gone is the work that is never done
Lost are the rainy days without sun

Past the creek where the tall tree grew
Stood smiles that were never in few

Up the hill near hung the porch swing
In my small eyes, was big enough for a king

Never forgotten are these times I had
Because in this place nothing could be sad

Tomorrow brings new memories with a smile 
However I think here I will stay for a while
