In the quiet folds of yesterday,
Where laughter once danced like sunlit rays,
I find a fragment a whisper, a spark,
A playful heart lost in the dark.
For in the giving, a treasure unfolds,
A piece of my spirit, a warmth to hold;
To share, to trade, perhaps even weep,
To unearth the joy that once ran so deep.
With every small token, a layer peels back,
Revealing the colors once vivid, now slack.
Goofy and innocent, unmasked and free,
I reach for the echoes of my former glee.
So let me give lightly, let my heart be the guide,
For in offering kindness, my old self resides
In the dance, in the laughter, in moments unplanned,
I'll find my reflection, where love understands.
A mosaic of memories, some chipped and some bold
In the tapestry woven, my essence retold;
With a sprinkle of joy, and a dash of the past,
I'll stitch up the laughter, forever to last.
