Time gone by

Sweet kisses fall upon my face, as I bask in the warm summer sun.
The bright green grass tickles the soles of my feet, while the laughter
tickles my heart.
Frolicking carefree spinning round and round, eyes shut tight
watching as life spins by.
As I open my eyes I see the changes around
So different than it used to be, where did time go?
To be that carefree young spirit again
Where the future was like eternity, and the possibilities in
it, endless.
Wishing I had held on tighter to a time long gone.
