Stay Young
The things we leave behind
The things we left sitting there
The child was left behind
The habit got left behind
The growth that came
The child left at a park by mistake this time
Yesterday left where it was ,cut off
Today is here now ,never leaving our sight
The child feels in it’s heart, pain
That thing left behind
Who can recall it when seconds have passed
The child like the end of a speeding train
Leaving it all on the tracks, not a clue to follow
Only on the return , that seemed like forever ago
The child can see it now in the moment and laughs hysterically.
