“Etched In Memory”

 

Close your eyes,

  drift back in time,

  to when it was swing-sets,

  and nursery rhymes

 

To the days of  Peter Pan,

  Robin Hood, Dr. Seuss ©,

  when friends could be chipmunks,

  a mouse or a moose

 

Go there again,

 drift back in time,

  back when soda pop and candy,

  were only a dime

 

Those were the times,

  we knew dreams could come true,

  as yet timeless times,

  we slowly passed through

 

Such magical times,

  where we seemed to love more,

  great childhood memories,

  as we passed through life’s doors

 

Those times haven’t left us,

  they’re just back in the past,

  etched in our memories,

  forever to last…
