Rewriting Life

I wish to go back to a time that Never Was To a land of Rainbows and Butterflies Recreate and redefine Fool my mind Care free laughter Building sandcastle Holding hands A world of atta boy and job well done Playing with friends Back yard tire swings Report cards with A's Building a tree house with dad Baseball and hotdogs A proud hand patting my head Growing up in a family home A place where true love is shown Ice tea served on a porch Running through sprinklers While mom and dad look on Growing up Feeling secure Hands that are only lifted in praise Life long friendships Shared experiences No sad memories stuck in my mind If only it could be real But perhaps if I believe I can make it true A past that was soaked in sunshine With a cloudy sky transformed to blue
