Once a Tiny Child
Once A Tiny Child
Where once a tiny child walked
upon these wooden floors
now only wee shadows waltz
swiftly through the doors.
Finger prints are wiped away
with Kool-Aid grins and tears
where once a tiny child walked
and quickly disappeared.
Packed away in attic trunks
their teddy bears and toys
where once a tiny child walked
dear little girls and boys.
Time will never take away
the memories that remain
where once a tiny child walked
to make me smile again.
