Remembering My Youth

In the deep recesses of my aging mind
Are images of life long ag
Joyous images of fun and laughter
Of loving hearts all aglow

The passage of time is of no consequence
Images of youth still remain
Halcyon days of laughter and good cheer
Peace and happiness reigned

A dreamer is what I've often been called
But with my advancing years
I tend to reminisce a whole lot more
Remembering my joys and my fears

My very first date, my very first kiss
A newly discovered love
Euphoric feelings my head was a-spinning
Giving my heart a shov

No matter my age sweet memories remain
Great days of unbridled youth
What would I do if I couldn't recall
This time of innocence and truth

In the deep recesses of my aging mind
Are images of life long ago
Joyous images of fun and laughter
Of loving hearts all aglow
