Remnants of Childhood

When I see you, a flood of memories rush,

A cascade of moments, a whispered hush.

For in your eyes, I glimpse the past,

A childhood lost, too fleeting to last.

Your laughter echoes with the innocence of youth,

A time of wonder, of unspoken truth.

In your smile, I see the days gone by,

A treasure trove of memories that never die.

Yet with each glance, a pang of sorrow,

For time's cruel hand steals tomorrow.

The carefree days, now distant dreams,

Lost in the passage of life's streams.

Oh, how I long to hold onto the past,

To make time stand still, to make it last.

But like sand slipping through my fingers,

Childhood slips away, leaving lingering whispers.

So when I see you, dear one, know this truth,

You are a mirror reflecting my youth.

And though the years may fade away,

The memories of childhood will forever stay.
