Faded a lot with the corners all torn A little boy stands he looks quite forlorn A familiar slight grin is residing his face ‘Say cheese’ they laugh…. his hat is in place A small curl of hair is wafting his brow The ice cream in hand is all melting now His face is alert with the fun of it all In big football boots his foot on the ball The graze on his knee he won’t feel a bit As proudly he stands in his new football kit His eyes staring brightly to the future in store He’s lived seven years he wants ninety more The halcyon days of children at play Why does life come and take them away Those moments are golden laced with the moon But time marches on……. you grow up to soon The snapshot I hold all faded and creased Reminds me that time on this planet is leased Reminds me to live everyday here with joy And capture the dreams of that happy small boy Jon Mewett [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 08-03-2001).] |
