Remember

Can you remember?
Have you gone too far?
Have you grown so much?
Have you totally let go?

The summer rains
as a child, playing till you were soaked
jumping in the puddles
dancing beneath the showers

The autumn leaves
Hiding in the piles
Jumping and laughing
raking forever...

Butterfly's in the spring
chasing them through fields
gazing as their wings moved slowly on the flower
dreaming of what it would be like...

Winter snows
Catching the flakes on your tongue
Building castles and forts
Snowmen abound

Starry nights
Gazing into the heavens
loosing count at the number
falling stars excited like fireworks

Castles in the sand
Built to be washed away
hearts drawn in the sand
the moat for the castle

Climbing the trees
Skipping the rocks
Running forever
Playing till dark

If you forgot
Remember
Not one of these cost a cent
But brought joy to so many of us

Remember...

You are so right hariksna. We should never cease the search and demand joy each day. We can find it, it's all around us. Thank you for your comments.
