Vanishing Childhood
Playtime ceased
laughter no more
memory and loss
Imagination fleeting
smiles and tender joy
leaping and running
Seeking and hiding
bonds mend and spirits fly
taking care with merriment
Under a charmed spell
precocious and undaunted
unconcerned with the hours
A blink of dark eyes
gone in an instant
ripped through grasps
Echoes in time
wrought with tears
and forgotten events
