Just Another Rhyme
I remember when wishes lived on a popsicle stick,
and laughter rode in circles on a merry-go-round,
goodnight kisses spurred sweet dreams on their way,
and tomorrows were all shaped like yesterdays.
where cares blew away with the puff of a breeze,
when love was holding hands to say a prayer,
pain was just a band-aid and some iodine,
it only hurt till everyone knew, then it’d be just fine.
peaceful was hot chocolate and a bedtime story,
as snowflakes traded places with the stars,
life was so much easier way back when,
and I’ll treasure these memories to the very end,
till they are no more than a fine morning’s mist,
forgotten in the sunset of too long a day,
yet locked there forever in an old man’s tear,
because somewhere inside the little boy still lives there.
