Yesteryears

Still the yesteryears remain in my heart

as if time stood still I can breath the air

we are children again giggling with joy

up and down the street we haven’t a care

its barely dusk and not a threat in sight

the street light aglow on the corner as we run back and forth

we play peek a boo just one more time

hoping our parents don’t remember

school tomorrow time to jump in the tub

the many sleepovers

little whispers in the dark

sleeping bags in the living room

time slowly slips by

tag your it and we scatter like bugs

swimming in the pool

splashes of carefree delights

the childhood memories we share

going to school

riding the merry-go-round in the mall

dance lessons together

hiding shoes in the sand

ice creams in p.j.s

growing up down the street

looking at our faces

as together we stand

the tickles of yesteryears memories come flooding back
