Childhood Memories

Before my eyes
pictures appear
from long ago
but still so clear

With skies of blue
wind in my hair
we shared a moment
without a single care

I still remember
one summer's day
she held my hand
to lead the way

And showed me treasures
love in her smile
we strolled the meadows
and sang a lullaby

Wild flowers were in bloom
wearing a crown of dew
and sunrays on the leaves
danced in and out of view

Hear the stream that's flowing by
swallows flying in the sky
all the beauties of the land
I began to understand
on that day she held my hand

Brilliant colours all around
million wonders to be found
while the perfume in the air
takes my senses unawares
giving joy without compare

Her tender voice
whispered a sound
and made my heart
begin to pound

A children's rhyme
rings in my ears
captured in my mind
to dissipate all fears

Roaming in my dream
feeling as I did before
safe within my mem'ries
opening that secret door

Brilliant colours all around
million wonders to be found
thousand graceful butterflies
rise to fill this paradise
as they catch me by surprise

Hear the stream that's flowing by
swallows flying in the sky
endless haunting melodies
spreading mystic poetry
to enlight my fantasy

There's a rainbow in my heart
even though we had to part
shining on forever bright
like a diamond in the night
always there to make things right
