wind blowing curtains through the open window i hear the night birds sing their song not even their song can help me sleep tonight i thought of my childhood playing marbles in the dirt i thought of my dreams so alive back then i knew exactly what i would do day in and day out i knew what i would be when i finally "grew" up i believed frimly in wishes made on dead dandilions i believed in secrets between friends never to be shared i believed the lady bugs house was on fire i believed the most fun you could have was rolling down a hill in an old tire now the days of yesteryear are gone i am here, not sure where i belong fun isn't what it used to be longing to return to my childhood where i can once again be free...

Nice Julie ann. So sad thought. Think everyone has a period in their life when they want to go back to what was simpler and easy. Going through that right now, too. Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

Beyond the sadness in this piece Julie I saw something very very special......happy childhood memories...you will always have those to visit and those to hold onto...nothing can take those away. Beautiful writing~ |

The great thing about being a parent is that it gives you the right to be a child again. Look forward to these days if you dont have a child because they will return. Lovely write. |
