Emerald Hills

Missing image
The rolling emerald hills of youth
echo in the reflections of my mind.
Before the time of innocence lost
when my love and trust was blind.

A simpler time, full of happy thoughts.
The sincere honesty, of days gone past
A child possesses, the purist of hearts
before life happens and the die is cast!

If we could turn back, the clock of life
to the purity, of a child's time before
the hardening of angelic emotions
slamming shut, their open-minded door!

If we could let go of all the pain
with which, we built our shields.
How wonderful our lives would be
rolling downs hills, in emerald fields

    Well written and pleasing quatrain poem, green fields shine clearly through the whole piece, pity about the spelling mistake in the title! It doesn't however detract from a good write.
