Most Liked Nostalgia Poems (1,154)

I chased Fireflies in the night skies.
I chased butterflies in the morning sunrise.
When I was a child, I picked the flowers wild.
The pleasure I'd find,in the treasure of a dandelion
I made a chain of clover,and played Red Rover,
and Hide and Seek,
With Angel dust on my cheek,
when Coke was a dime.
Those childhood memories stay in my mind.
I always smiled when I was a child.
With pleasure at the wild flowers I'd find.
And the simple treasure of a dandelion

Michael Jackson
I saw you in a video yesterday
I'm sorry you were picked on by your dad and your brothers
If they had left you alone then you might not have cut up your face
You looked just fine the way you were
I remember your chimp named Bubbles
I guess adult chimps are too dangerous to have around so he had to go
You couldn't go out without being mobbed by fans
I'm a fan and I would know that you just need your space and I'd leave you alone
But so many people live their lives vicariously through their idols
So they pay large amounts of money to be near them
I don't need that kind of excitement
I enjoy you most when I sing to your songs in my car
That's better than any concert
So I hope you have been having fun in heaven
Teaching Jesus how to moonwalk and riding your own Zipper amusement ride

I listen to music
I remember days, New
Saddle blankets, dusty gear
Sweet straw under beauty’s feet

The air mocks days in duster and hat
Rain popping on felt
I feel the wetness on my cheek
I’m in love with this moment

I listen to music and I remember
Tents and campfires
Horses sleeping, breathing in time
With the frogs on mossy rocks

There is no heaven after death
Heaven is what we find
Random gifts
I’ve come to believe

When I compare, home to here
It's a skyline, I remember clear
UK's grey, not a clear blue sky
Australia-New Zealand's, both wide 'n' high

Open and blue, takes breath away
Ask of differences, and I'll say
We have dreary, on mid-winter-days
Yet thinking of homelands, I see only grey

On one front, something wins hands down
The coast and it's seagulls, I'll never frown
With fresh salty calls, something I miss
Sting of salt on skin, as lips it'll kiss

Lifeboats to pebbles, seaweed too
Hustle-bustle, with smell leaving clue
People and laughter, roar of the sea
Deckchairs and colour, eyes will see

Down-under beaches, at peace if compared
No day trippers or coaches, and never a fair
One thing you learn, you have to cope
Family-friends left behind, not lost you hope

Bonds can be broken, once you had
Dreams shared, can make you sad
Contacts made fade, new life made
New country-foundations, gradually laid

Comes a time, when on feet stand
Memories in both, people and far land
Belonging to neither, you must let go
Seeds grew, those ones you did sow

Time can heal, can also bring loss
Memories to the wind, you may toss
Yet the stirring inside, will never die
Gradually settled, and no longer cry

she gives her hands to the fire
a slow entwining of fingers and flame
so almost real
confounds the eye
lids flicker
mind's eye licked open
by images that flex and leap
around the hearth crouch memories
who've come in from the cold

I went to Vegas a year ago and gambled all day through I lose a million bucks and had to sing the blues. their was no clock on the wall. to tell the time come true but the manager seen me cry and asked what could he do..i said I needed cab fare a hundred bucks or more . he handed me a travelers check then thru me out the door

When the breeze gently touches the leaves on a tree
How does that gentle breeze
Seem to have the strength of Hercules

When a humid gray cloud slowly glides overhead
And brings your mind at ease
As you are covered with the shield of Hercules

And then the birds hush their singing the wind is still as can be
All your thoughts leave your mind and that's when you find
You have been restored with the strength of Hercules

The little country store
The little restaurant
They're gone now gone forevermore

The little country store
You knew the names of the milkman and the bread man
You knew who your neighbor was for sure

The store was never crowded
With three people shopping at a time maybe four
But that's all gone now gone forevermore

The little restaurant had a pinball machine in the corner
A jukebox standing nearby a favorite song was always playing
And a teenager would be standing at an open door

How much of this are you missing
You knew who your neighbor was for sure
But that's all gone now gone forevermore

Denver in December,
With the snowfall lookin' pretty,
Denver in December,
What an incredible city

Such a mind-blowing town
Snow capped Rockies to the west,
It's such a God given joy,
To sample Denver's best,

And it's legal to soar like an eagle,
Yeah it's legal to fly on high in freedom,

If you've never been,
To Denver in December,
It's a dream-like high,
You will always remember,

There's a song about,
A Rocky Mountain high,
Head to Denver in December,
And you'll see just why

And it's legal to soar like an eagle,
Yeah it's legal to fly on high in freedom,

Denver in December,
16th Street Mall's scene,
People laugh a mile high
Come find exactly what that means,


Denver In December,
Where the people are cool,
So when you go there, man,
Don't you be no freakin' fool,

Denver in December,
Where the sun shines all night,
And when the moon kisses the sun,
What an out-of-sight sight,

And it's legal to soar like an eagle,
Yeah, it's legal to fly on high in freedom,

Denver in December,
I will always remember,

Denver, In December.

Old fashioned no tattoo's
No smoke to roll just ocean waves
Crashing away my blues

Some forgotten lifestyle from the past
Still hanging on a little longer than some would like to see
But that's me

Sometimes there's eye contact with certain women
But only a glance
Some ladies don't need flirting they just need a little romance

Hello can be said tenderly
I nod my head as if to say is that ok
But that's me

Memories of an old farmhouse the smell of baled hay
Early morning sunshine appears on the wooden front porch
As if to say let's go to work I nod my head that's a ok
But that's me
