Rainy Reverie The attic, on a rainy day, Was just the finest place to play. Adventureland and magically, Most anyplace you wished to be. Oh, how we made the rafters ring With songs of childhood we would sing And how they'd echo every shout, When chasing our dear friends about. A storeroom raid, we'd always dare, To eat the dates and raisins there And now I sit here, in the gloom Embraced by this old, dusty room. The voices call from out the past. I think of when I played here last And fill my head with dreams of when Grandchildren play here once again!

Wonderful memories and this lovely poem brought back some for me too. i loved raiding my grandmothers attic...I can recall the musty, delicious smell of it as I write this! Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
