I remember when life Was simple, We sat for hours watching Grasshopper’s spring To new heights Vocabulary was simple, Easy to understand, Innocent, and the only War waged was that Of how Rob could Beat Walter in a race To the ice-cream truck, (I can hear the truck now,) The laughter, the coins spilling Out of pockets already too tight Time was always moving And though we didn’t Mind, rarely changing I remember the smell of October, apples orchards And pumpkin patches, And snow falling gently, Dancing with the leaves, The long Sunday drives To nowhere and how The air somehow tasted fresher And need we speak of love? It could feel like a white dove cooing, And the pain of puppy love can Still be as vivid now as it was then Time can stand still Time can fly by I need to be the lily in your storm Where love's vast sea can not Be emptied Where Time is a fire that burns within us Tomorrow's another day and I'm thirsty any way so bring on the rain [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (01-12-2002 10:06 AM).] |

And need we speak of love? It could feel like a white dove cooing, And the pain of puppy love can Still be as vivid now as it was then Wonderful..lovely words as always Lauren..i really enjoyed reading this ..hugs ~Vic "To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." |

Greeneyes - this certainly brings back memories, if good times, and not so good. Things were not so complicated, as now. Yes, time flies by, but also can stand still... BC |

*sigh* memories of such simpler times flow through my mind as I read this wonderful poem. A time when honesty and trust still existed in such abunance that we could relax and let the small joys of life fill us. I love this poem and how it made me feel..**big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Oh, thankyou, thankyou for brightening my day with such wonderful memories. My inner child is dancing with glee. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
