Wish we could turn back time...

This life's a vapor, can't be captured
Under glass. Yes, that is what we've heard.
Rich memories of days gone past
Now linger in the looking glass.

But if we should visit childhood
And play tag in the mental woods,
Could they give strength today and
Kick off the restraint to create?

Turning time-weary oldsters back
Into youngsters at heart,in fact?
Maybe a mental visit would
Energize and do me much good.
