Wisp of Time
Slivers of moments
caught in the memory jet stream
Blowing gently the past,
eddies of windswept emotions of elation
Presently, sitting on a park bench,
taking a breather after doing a bit of shopping
Press the rewind ... play back memories of some good times
in my mind
As I watch the children play on the playground,
watching the mothers watch their children
while sitting down near to me
I remember my daughter playing so innocently
on the monkey bars, on the slide
Swinging on the swings, diving in the sand pile
Her smiling at me all the while
A golden moment of happy times spent with my child
Sitting on a park bench years later,
this makes me smile
at the memory of her smiling at me
A wisp of time,
gently moving through
the memory clouds of my mind
I sigh, as a little baby near me starts to cry,
and her mother picks her up tenderly ... coos to her,
which makes the baby smile
And I smile too
