Nostalgia
So this doesn’t follow the theme, anyway hope you like
When I grow old
I shall often turn to the warmth and familiarity of my youth
And I will roll the memories over like candy on my tongue
It will taste of the contentment and satisfaction of a glowing fire
And the bright colored bobbles hung from a tree
That lights up hearts as well as faces.
And I will sit with my weathered hands
And my sun spotted face
A gift,
Evidence I have lived.
I will be perched in my favorite chair,
Like a cat in the window
Bathing in the warmth of innocence.
I won’t wish to look back and resent all the issues from my past
But instead I will continue to live in my memories
And I will spin a web of new ones that my own can remember,
When they are old, sitting in their favorite chair.
They too can share the love,
Sweet like honey that drips from a comb.
