Ringlets twirling and lollipops slick with saliva,
Tinker toys and fairy dancers that flew
higher than we would have thought we could go.
Dresses with lace and tulip skirts blossoming full
with games of Ring Around the Rosie--
Oh how I wish I ended with a pocketful of posies.
Hold hands and look both ways as we cross streets,
off on field trips to explore new places and things.
Gap toothed smiles and guileless pretty faces
with fairytale dreams and grand imaginings,
Take me back for my memories are sweet.
