Quiet times alone like this
I love to sit and reminisce
I journey back to childhood days
to revel in life's innocent ways

Chasing down the ice~cream truck
find a penny~ it brings good luck
Dishing up delicious mud~pies
catching ladybugs and butterflies

Building castles out of sand
the warmth of Daddy's big strong hand
Hula hoops, hopscotch and kick the can
monsters under the bed and the bogeyman

Bedtime stories, Saturday cartoons
making music, with Mommy's silver spoons
Piggy~back rides and picnics at the lake
beaters to lick, when Granny would bake

Memories filled with happiness and love
an abundance of blessings from above
A reminder, that we should keep near
all of the things that we hold dear

Fine imagery ... both photographic and poetic!

LOVE ...

is the melody of the heart,
the harmony of the soul,
and, the song of the universe

      --- b. e. adams

Perhaps this still lovely, but often sad 'ol world needs more "incurable Romantics?!"

I certainly agree with the words, and feelings and memories, my friend.

And on another note,
I haven't seen a photo of Marty in a long time,
but every time I see you I'm sure reminded of her . . . like I'm seeing a younger version (of course, I see ghosts too!
