I can hear the laughter dying It was never meant to stay The happy little moment Has disapeered, along with the summer day The bright lights of the carnival Blind my eyes In the black of night The rides and games all in the past... I'm grounded, No longer taking flight. I can hear the distant music Playing in my ears But the laughter, The sweetest melody, Shedding me from the darkened sky Has drifted all away How can I not, but cry? |

Lovely poem, Joy. Don't worry, you'll have many more days like that soon. Hey, summer will be here quick enough. ~Gene |

You have expressed yourself wonderfully in this piece, I can see why you feel the need to cry, but I agree with the others, there will be many more days ahead such as this one! Just be glad I'm not your child! *evil grin* |

I can't wait for summer either Joy!! I need to get my glove out and oil it for the many days of bats, softballs, short pants, and crazy looking hats! Don't worry, I'm heavily anticipating summer too...  "...at night I cling to you I'm so afraid; afraid the day will come and I'll wake up and find you gone. But you promise that you'd not abandon me and kissed my fears away but I woke up to that day..." 'Waking up Beside You' by Stabbing Westward |
