I can remember when The laughter didn't end We'd frolick in the snow The concept of time we didn't know My mind recalls the day We rode snowmobiles across the bay The lake a sheet of ice Nature's beauty was very nice We traveled through the woods Where the tallest firs stood In a clearing we stopped Making a bonfire that popped Then we roasted hot dogs Out in the wilderness over logs They've never tasted as grand As they did on that land I can see the red bridge Up near the steep ridge It takes me to a time When winter was in her prime ---------------------------------------------------- Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

A sweet poem that will bring memories to us all. Nothing is ever as beautiful or whimsical as it is when we are young. This poem is both sweet in sentiment and also evokes a sad longing, and hits the reader both ways so that they experience both fond happiness and yearning for the past - excellent technique, well that's how it affected me anyway Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Thanks! Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Ah!....yes I know what you mean and the days seemed to last forever with each one filled with a new world of exciting experiences... now I find they go by too fast...or maybe it's that I don't take the time to enjoy them like I should....I just absolutely loved this! It took me back and refreshed my very soul....thank you so very much....ethome |
