Sand in her toes
Wind in her hair
She runs and releases the string
Watching
As the kite takes flight

Soaring with the breeze
She runs along the beach
Holding on tightly
Waiting for that gust
That will carry her away

Second to None ~ #poetry of #innocence

Innocence reigns, in the eyes of a child

They watch, bewildered, awed and beguiled

Asking about, the man with the hat

Wondering why, he is dressed quite like that

Why the sky is blue, and the grass is green

And every other color, left in between

Catching the sun, as it lights up their face

Taking it in, with seraphic grace

Oh how I wish I could see what they see

Shine on, dear child, who never was me

Live out your life, explore your dreams

Capture the beauty, of every moonbeam

Race to the morning, rise with the sun

Always remember, you’re second to none

Dreams of Tomorrows ~ #shortstory #childhoodmemories

Raindrops fell in white crystalline shapes, softly floating down to touch upon the earth. Barren trees shivered, now that they had shed their autumn coats. Yes, winter was here, with its cold and its frost, and its snow. Mostly snow, like confectioner’s sugar coating the land, yet, not so sweetly. This was the time to gather the sleds, find the hills, and fly!! No cares for what lied at the bottom, just laughter from the top down. And when we were completely exhausted, homeward bound it was, massive snowball fights until we reached the front door. Waiting patiently, with snuggles, was mom, who would wrap us in a big soft blanket. Oh and the hot chocolate!! The perfect ending, drinking a big, steaming cup of liquid manna. I preferred whipped cream, others marshmallows, but it didn’t matter to any of us. We were happy, warm, and most importantly, loved. Now tucked into bed, with a goodnight kiss, we closed our eyes and dreamed of our tomorrows.

 

During this holiday season, I am thankful for the many childhood memories that have carried me through my life, my children’s lives and hopefully generations yet to come  🙂
