There was a child I once knew very well Many years have passed me by since that time I drift through my dreams when I can foretell This small girl who wore her heart like a rhyme ~ Many years have passed me by since that time There stands a woman where once stood a girl This small girl who wore her heart like a rhyme Memory of what keeps her mind a swirl ~ There stands a woman where once stood a girl I drift through my dreams when I can foretell Memory of what keeps her mind a swirl There was a child I once knew very well feelings of nostalgia Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper Image NUMBER THREE Written and Posted on June 15, 2020

Sweet childhood memories remain well after childhood is over. My son is 12 and very worried about growing up as his 13th birthday approaches in August. I'm trying to reassure him with memories of a wonderful childhood and reminding him that he can can keep his childlike joy as he gets older. The child stays within...thanks for sharing, Gina, and good luck in the contest! Blessings, Rhonda xx
