Oh Very Young

the twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
 was there something else you have been wishing
 the fixture on the wall stood out
 when I was young & alone

 painting pictures in the clouds in vast formation
 wallet, keys & pen 
 we ran through the open field puzzled
 to look on the daisy with delight

 pick grass and whirl it in the air
 without a care in the world
 the ice cream man came to are neighborhood
 feeling really good

 shoes, paper, pencil & chap stick
 poison ivy in the woods
 always desert alone in my room to myself
 put another book back on the shelf

 memories of the past
 having so much fun with a hope that it would last
 mother & father were happy
 the family get together

 a new toy at the store fresh wrapped in it's paper
 the taste of a delicious cookie
 sand box days with friends
 must you leave us this time

 a challenge to be free is a question of time
