Sweet Times
Listen to poem:
Sweet Times
Sweet is the taste of days from yesteryear
that haunt the heart so keenly they bring tears
to eyes which have seen sadness, joy and pain
as time passed on and age ceased not to gain.
Sweet were the summers when you as a child
ate popsicles and hula hooped a while
and Christmases came with a little snow
as sparkling trees had shiny gifts below.
Sweet was the past when youth was still in bloom
and passion was a glance across the room
from someone’s face you’d see for all your life
from someone’s face who’d choose you for a wife.
Sweet is the thought of moments now gone by
that pass across the mind and bring a sigh
memories floating on life’s gentle breeze
recalling mainly those that often please.
