The golden honey grass sways back and forth,

The sun dissolves the silky velvet dew.

A gentle breeze develops from the North,

The birds begin to chirp, the day's anew.

 

The crunch of little feet on fallen leaves,

A child chases a butterfly through brush.

Small dappled shapes of light shine through the eaves,

A stream speaks of a garble and a gush.

 

A snapping twig disturbs the sweet moment. 

The child stands oh-so-still in quiet fear,

Then sees a small tan head emerge the tent

Of trees, a staring soul, a nervous deer.

 

Oh how I wish these happy times would stay,

These morning songs just take my breath away.

Don't we all miss those younger days, when we were carefree and innocent. I hope this poem takes you to a happy place.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
