| The Book of Time
Posted: 11/6/2009 8:14:09 PM | Opening the book of time, one more time
Pages of time, engraved in my mind
Worn old pages, all tattered and yellow
The house of my childhood, memories twirling
Closing my eyes to remember, the smell of old wood
Stained glass windows, french doors, curved staircase
My cozy little room, overlooking the garden
The claw foot bathtub, a lake to a little girl
A kitchen old and cozy, delicious smells, in the air
Mom smiling, a plate of peanut butter cookies, holding
A little girl(me) playing quietly, on the front porch
Long dark hair in tangles, rosy cheeks, funny smile
Grannie rocking and rocking, all day knitting
Dad busy, in the yard, humming a tune
Chubby baby brother, in his carriage, perfect
A little table set for tea, dolls sitting pretty
Real tea pot and china cups, a gift from Grannie
Kitty cat sleeping soundly in the sun, purring
I walk the shady street of my memory
The big hill, where sometimes I rode my bike
At the end of the street, a park, lush and green
In the park, a pond, where water lilies float
And majestic swans, drift by, so peaceful
Hours, spent hanging over the edge, hands seeking
Closing the book of time, one more time
Pages of time, engraved in my mind
Worn old pages, all tattered and yellow | |
