~We Passed This Way~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once upon a time,..we passed this way!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Years ago,..the sun looked
much the same as it did today.
The evening sky was cast in light
blue with coral pink streaks and
white wispy clouds reflecting the
sun's distant rays. Children ran
about, playing in the yard,...
waiting for fireflies. Not a care
in the world did they have, nor did
it seem to matter. Life was abundantly
good and reveled in, almost succulently.
Familiar sounds of laughter and voices
planning the next day, seemed to go
on forever. Endless summer nights,
a mellow existence of those
who dwelled in the rapture of the
moment,...however fleeting it now
seems to have been.
As I look upon the horizon,
Seeing that same sky I did back
then, my mind drifts back to
that time when life was most
certainly good.
Gone are those days,
passing away as all things do.
Yet, I still see those children,
I still hear their laughter.
Then,
quietly,...alone, I bask in
the afterglow, knowing
as we walk this highway of life,
we build sweet memories.
For we
have passed this way!
