What's Forgotten
As time flows by through the waterfall of time
I put pen to paper to complete a rhyme
And through the years I've written such things
From childhood wishes to Angels with wings
Looking back on my earliest writings at hand
I sometimes think I it was then to understand
How simple pleasures give more to me now
Than my biggest dreams could ever have somehow
The laughter of my children I miss so much
They are growing so fast and no longer laugh as such
Gone are the innocent childhood dreams
No more do they ponder over such silly life themes
It is sad really to think that we all
Use to laugh when we skinned our knees in a fall
As we grow older we lose sight of what really should be
The most important of values; love, health and honesty
Putting away our childlike ideas and ways
No longer enjoying or laughing seems like life's in a craze
To hurry here and hurry there no longer in joying the view
So now as I sit here writing and thinking of you
I am grateful for all the things you give
Mostly the little things as we day to day live
Your sweet smile, your hand as we walk the road
Loving embraces when in your arms me you hold
But of all the things you given to me
It's your friendship and love that makes me see
That maybe all of life's childhoods have not gone far
They just waiting to shine like some patient star
As adults if we can appreciate the good things in life
Our health, our children and forget the grief and strife
There's a whole lot more to our lives to be met
If for a few moments a day our childhood ways we do not forget.
