life's greatest moments



Can you hear it?
Pure happiness in the form of giggles?
It makes me wonder, of times before now,
older yet remembering.
In the moment hearing wind rustling through trees
and laughter, screams of joy.

Can yet you hear it?
The gentle snores,
making me wish to go back in time.
wishing to be free of,
responsibility.
To be again young.
