October Yesteryear
By Larry Chadwick


Today I was young enough
for you to be two again.
And we were playing peek-a-boo
with the moon one more time.

You giggled at the ability
of the moon to hide.
Surprised each time
it appeared from behind the hills.

Only you could make me feel
grown up before I was.
Or at least fix it
so it did not matter.

And now that I am
it seems of little consequence.
But since I am old enough
it does not matter.
October 18, 2005

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

You have such an honest and open soul.
Hugs to you for this. Chris

sweetwater,
Thank you! I think I used that line in a prose piece recently. Is it possible to plagerize yourself? Guess I liked it. LOL

Nancy Lee,
I was riding home night before last on my motorcycle after working late and drove through a huge cloud burst into stars and full moon. It was an awesome ride in my mind as well. And thanks for the hug.


Sy,
Kind of fun, eh? And thanks.

Martie,
Thank you. It sure is comforting that you know.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
