Flowers Of The Mind

Pansies and daffodils scattered about
and tulips and hyacinths too
all may be where love blooms anew
in this place where I found you

once in an earlier time
carefree and happy were we
do you remember can you still see
our ship afloat on the roiling sea

when children laughed for all to hear
and you and I gamboled daylong
our minds glowing with great joy
breaking out in a child's song

a song so simple yet it's meaning
not lost upon our souls
when day was done and we had gone
our footprints now just holes

in the sands of a time
when the flowers all bloomed
in the minds of we children
where dreams are forever consumed
