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.
