Nostalgia

A longing look back at dusty thoughts
colors my musings of childhood days.
I miss my Mom's hugs, cross-country trips,
and phantasmagorical picnics.

My imagination starts to stir;
conjuring up past visions of fun.
And I wish that I could go hog-wild;
or switch curiosity back on.

Thinking about family outings
instantly summons up happy thoughts.
My mind oft lovingly looking back;
at a past without guilt or worry.

Occasionally; I wish I could
go back to what I had long ago.
For a pang of nostalgia calls forth
an amalgamation of lost joys.

It deserved its placing most admirably.
