Remembering

 

One day as I was driving,

The sky was blue the clouds were high.

I could remember as a child

The dreams I had,

That flight of fancy I would ride upon. 

Just a simple breeze for that memory to be summoned up,

Oh how much I loved just being the child.

The summer sun,

The autumn breeze,

The falling leaves of distant trees.

 Horses in the field

The grass so green and flowing,

I had to pull over and turn off the engine

I had to get out of my car

To let my childhood memories

Drown me from a far.
