Young Once More

Young Once More. . Beyond furrow and story filled line Haggard and lived in drooping sallow skin Weathered and tired by the scourge of time Disguises a youthful heart that resides within Cheeky clear smiling eyes Light up as beacons on a dark velvet night Reviling the beauty beyond facade disguise On reminisces of her happy childhood take flight For a few brief moments the years fade away A young girl in the blossom of youth full of charm and delight Halcyon memories of long gone warm sunny days And oh so clear skies Her and friends at play Bring a tear of joy As though it was just yesterday Her first naive kiss with a boy Cherished tender memories Kept within the album of her heart A young girl at heart history. . ‘’ I love talking to older people And talk about their childhood. The look in their eyes is Priceless and beams from the heart.’’ . Peter Dome©2020.
