Nostalgia

The Earth is warm, the sun's ablaze
It was a time of carefree days
And bees abuzz that chance to pass
May see me snoozing in the grass
When tree-swing rides and dogs and boys
Makes a lot of noise
I see a child: young, smiling, free
And feel like I have lost
This girl was happy, free from pain,
And played her childhood games
She danced in rainstorms, played with toys,
Was never less than sane
Her soul allowed to dance and sing
Her heart allowed to breathe,
This child was life personified,
she tapped her feet in time
To music, no one listened to
To songs that didn't rhyme,
She watched the seasons passed,
winters, summers, autumn, spring,
The fields are rich with daffodils,
And she must dance, and she must sing
She was given second sight,
And I would give up everything,
To view life through her eyes again.
