Tiny fingers laid upon your broad chest.

Nursery rhymes and your favorite rock songs

blast out into the night.

A gentle rhythmic sway puts me to sleep

in your arms safe and sound.


Being there again,

when nothing and everything matters

although memories are hazy,

looking through the fog

I certainly recall the happiness.

It was all perfect in that living room.


The fondest childhood memories,

are sandwiched in between the monotony

a glimmer, bright, incredible,

picturesque recollections

even now the smile comes.


Nostalgia a medicine 

best taken on lazy days.

Without the troubles of adulthood that weigh

with a side of candies 

to liven up the child that stays within.


Become excited again

about simplicities

silly faces and moments

when things occurred not according to plan.

But everything worked out in the end didn't it?


That moment, like every single other,

came to pass

it fades, but not the feeling

that lingers.

Reminding you, it was real

and you were there.
