Good Night Jeannie

I see life more realistically today:

as a series of days

that leave their mark on us and

become memories.

Time marches on inexorably and with it,

both beautiful and less beautiful moments remain.

Sometimes

I wish I could be a child again,

to feel that sincerity, innocence,

and joy once more.

I miss this world,

seen through a child’s eyes, very much.

But we cannot turn back time.

All that remains is to keep a childlike heart

and consciously enjoy every day…

and to grow older with dignity.

Warm hugs your way ...♥
