Rewind Poem by Sophia White

Rewind, rewind, O silent Time
To days ere long forgot
So long ago did they turn dry
Like worn forget-me-nots.

A smile passed in years ago
Is easily overshadowed
For a smile cannot stand alone
When it is sudden widowed.

A day that's swathed in sunny rays
Is not hard to undress
And then clothe in thunderheads
With horrific suddenness.

Rewind, rewind, O silent Time
To golden years long dead.
Cast away these rotten blooms,
Lift the forget-me-not's head.
