Tender Youth


Soft whisper-winds bestir my mind,
recalling days time left behind.
Growing warm with memory's haze,
into my past, I fondly gaze.

Days of sunlight burning bright,
fading into cool, dark night
alight with only distant stars
and lightning bugs within our jars.

Laughing friends I hear once more
urging me outside my door
to run with them to feel the thrill
of all that's young and once was real.

We played with time, no need to hurry,
no chores to do, no real worries.
Around and round in circles we ran,
stirring the mixture from boy to man.

Now the sadness descends upon me
for what I've lost has left me lonely.
Tender days of youth gone by...
gone no matter how I cry.
