i look in your toy box
you’ve tucked away
memories of things
you liked to play

pictures and books
a boat and a ball
marbles you gazed at
and kites that you flew

as more innocent times
of hope and joy

as you grew older
the contents changed
the crayons to pens
the marbles to globes

issues were greater
than tag you’re it
someone reminded you
you had become a man

to more mature times
of life and worth

i choose to see you
as both boy and man
as we tumble around
our colorbook land

remembering how easy
love is to make
when life becomes hope
and joy becomes worth

I never liked the idea of time--that somehow what I wrote in 1980's is "different" from what I write in 2002. I never abandoned that child that I was--it just became more forceful in self-expression.

I've longed to write a poem such as this. But I guess at 20, there's hardly much to say. This has it all: the memories the images, and the verse. An excellent insight into one mans life. 10++
Cheers,
Tim
