Violets are blue
Vanished are the bygone days
Illusive feelings of bittersweet nostalgia
Opulence oozes over golden dreams
Luxuriant the gifts of time
Ethereal such are the memories of love
That tantalize as youth fades
Scattering glitter of past sunny carefree days
Adorned reminiscings too good to be true
Roses are red goes the children's rhyme
Echoes of their happy chants and giggles
Beauty as the sun sets on yesteryear
Lavishes tenderness on sleepy thoughts
Uplifting hearts that still feel somewhat youthful
Eager to drink this most exquisite elixir
