The thought of mind consumed by hours The simple dreams were best It’s fields were full of many flowers But many years did test The childish thoughts of yesterday With age near disappear The fairytales so far away The cherished time of go and play No longer hold me near And others just the same as me Passed fantasy and find Live their life on looking back On all that’s left behind But though consumed we hold a thread Through years all passing by To time of once where we can tread That slows us to what lies ahead And that, our last goodbye [This message has been edited by Rick (07-24-2007 07:37 PM).] |

I am reminded that sometimes, the best we can do with that thread is to twine it into a rope, hook it to a Red Radio Flyer, and pull our good memories along... and I like that imagery. Here's to that thread, Rick! |

Live their life on looking back On all that’s left behind Guilty as charged. *S* Sometimes in a state of wishing... sometimes in regret... but always making any forward progress risk a stumble. *S* I think my thread is a heavy rope! *S* Beautiful write, my friend... I enjoyed! *S* |

Rick, I think this is so beautiful. I cleanch that thread between childhood and now -- and look to the future. I know that thread will still be there, a bit more worn and thin, but in my hand. Thank you. Alison |
