While Dreaming Of my Childhood Sweetheart.......


.....The little boy in me
ran giggling like a
wild tumbleweed to play with her
my girl next door,
in the meadow of maybeland
where no one ever grows old.

There the sun is always ten years warm..
and puddles are whole worlds to wade in...
sail paper boats...and watch clouds
drift earthbound in the rains mirror.

We hold hands and dash over meadows
of forget-me-nots and chase
all the grown up doldrums
with a butterfly net
casting them into a cave
and sealing it with big smiles.

We share endless hours of
nothing to do but have fun...
be funny and laugh at the silliest things..
and this goes on as it used to
when we were younger...forever and a grin.

Then with breathless fear and elation
I kiss her on her dainty cheek
and run away before the blush breaks full.
