Time flies and I wonder where its gone
Memories fade the older I hold on
And life moves ever on
On and on
I remember those childhood days
Even as they start to fade
Through winter to September
They dance as I remember
Feeling the changing of the seasons
Each merging without rhyme or reason
Now those times fade as I remember
The warmth and glow of childhood embers
Now I wonder where they've gone
Those days of peace and glory
Through summer as they march along
And tell a brand new story
Wondering how we passed the time
Those endless moments tumble through my mind
Looking back into that haze
Of childhood embers all ablaze
And feeling the icy touch of frost
As I pass through those days now lost
Then soon I start to remember
Breezes of another time
Lost in childhood embers

Beautifully written.
I really enjoyed reading this poem.
I love the lines...
"Wondering how we passed the time
Those endless moments tumble through my mind"
As they instantly brought memories of my own childhood to the surface.
One of which was climbing cypress trees planted in a long row, and seeing who could get the furthest along the row before touching the ground.. by jumping and/ or sliding down the limbs of one tree onto the next.
It was great fun!!!!!

This is really good, lol I hope you dont get annoyed with my comments or anything.I just love your writing and I have to keep moving on and reading on. I liked this one, but for some reasion I felt it could be longer or end better or something so I just wrote up something quick that I thought Kind of went with this, I dont know if you'll apreciate this or find it offencive, I hope not, I dont think theres anything wrong whit this or anything I'm just in a writing mood and this like your other poems spoke to me and I just had to write a bit, here what i think would almost go perfectly to the ending of this beautfiul poem and again i hope u dont mind.
As these childhood embers fade
I soon see an opening at the tunnels end.
There was a past
Oh but there’s a future too
And I love to imagine how beautiful my future will be with you
Life changes
And days come and go
I’ll remember my past for as long as I can
Then when memories of yesterday fade
I now know that they will be replaced
As child hood embers blaze -
Beautiful, it is so soft and sweet to the soul. It's like a lullaby.
Thank you for your entry.
Well done.
