Take Me Back

Accidental Poet



 Back to yesterday

When trees weren’t so tall

When I was just a boy

At play with bat and ball

 

Back in simpler times

When doors needed no locks

And at pond’s side

Watching skipping rocks

 

My, how the days passed by

Slow paced under summer sun

Twinkling stars that call my name

Might I be the only one?

 

My mind

Like pages in a book

Memories upon every page

Within my heart I look

 

If I could go back

Just to touch those memories

Refresh in my mind

Treasured old stories

 

They say living in the past

Is not the place to be

But were you to look

That’s where you’d find me

 

Memories of love

A feeling oh so new

Barely old enough

But how it held me true

 

For I hadn’t known

How with Cupid I’d make a pact

Memories in time

Take me back

    If we have good memories .. we always want to look back , if we have negative ones then perhaps not .
