Where Has It Gone?

lost youth

                               Backbends and cartwheels on the lawn

only yesterday—

where has it gone?

Tennis swimming dances and dates

skiing sledding and figure skates—

running laughing in the rain

I want to live it all again.

Now eight decades have passed and

All I have left are photographs.

Now you qualify for "bragging rights". You have the evidence. Now you are able to share the thrills you experienced with those who never had the chance to do them. All is not lost. Enjoyed!

Love ya!
