Douglas Ace Poet Rhyme

Reminding Me of Other Times

Here above the water's edge
I overlook the stream.
The sounds of the rushing current
are as a distant dream.

Reminding me of other times
that I've been here before
are  the trails and the uphill climbs
with adventures always in store.

As I think about my younger days
and those times shared with my brothers,
I can't help remembering the fun we had
as we shared those times with others.

Now those days have come and gone,
and I stand here quite alone,
seeing these places that have not changed
while through the years I've grown.

Douglas L.Ace

Belinda Parish February 17, 2009 at 6:25 AM Oh how well I remember the times I shared with my brothers, (all six) and my one and only sister. This poem draw me back in time to those wonderful days of childhood. I was blessed with a large family and having wonderful loving parents. Thanks for bringing back some of my wonder memories.....Belinda
