I miss what once I thought I knew
sun of yellow, sky of blue,
sweet summer breeze
and swinging through tall trees.
Fresh pine on the wind, back
before I knew of sin.
Warm evenings that sigh
amongst a star studded sky,
uninterupted sleep so good
hot dogs and campfire wood.
Friends simple and fond
swimming slow and easy in the old gravel pond,
that beautiful black dog I had
and most of all, dear old mom and dad.
- Perhaps I never truly knew then
what I think I know now, but
if I could, I would go back once more
just to briefly hold it all again, somehow.
Memories of childhood and innocence long sconce gone - very touching and poignant. I am sure we can all relate to this Smoky.
Ah yes. Been there, know that feeling. Great work Smoky. My new Dell is not allowing me to rate your poems. I will come back on line later with my phone and do so.
Nostalgia just chokes me up.A great reminder of things gone with the winds of time.Sadly we can't return. Smoky -a brief, but endearing poem, though sad, yet a joy to read
