Innocence


Do you recall
A time
Before cares
All began to press
Upon you
Within you

Can you remember
When your heart
Was free
Unfettered
And you loved
Without fear

Was there a time
When you expressed
Without reservation
Your affection

Did you shout with glee
At sight
Of a friend
Aunt or uncle
Grandparent

Did you cling
Hard to the leg
Of someone you loved
When they were fain
To depart

Did you cry
Openly
When your heart
Ached within you
Missing someone
Forever special

Yes, I do.  Sometimes, I wish it would come back.

Thank you for this, a gift from the heart.

wornways,


    It seems so longer ago.  Way longer than it should be.

Hugs,
