I remember it so well... <br /> Almost, as if it were yesterday <br /> Laying out in the backyard <br /> of my parent's white, <br /> clapboard house on Main Street <br /> <br /> Stretched out, on the soft, cool, green grass <br /> Feelng the warm, golden, afternoon sun <br /> <br /> Shining down on my small, child's face <br /> Just hoping... <br /> It would paint light, brown freckles <br /> On my tiny, little girl's upturned nose <br /> <br /> Oh, I could lie there for hours and hours <br /> Gazing up at those soft, candy cotton clouds <br /> Trying to decide which one looked like a kitten <br /> An elephant, or perhaps a fairy princess <br /> Riding off on a white, thundering pony <br /> Into 'Nowhere land'... <br /> The land of angels and magic <br /> Fairies, with long, golden tresses <br /> Bewitching elves and fairy tales <br /> <br /> Memories can be very wonderful <br /> Makes us wish we were kids again... <br /> Doesn't it? <br /> <br /> ~<br /><br />ANNE P LadeeAnne MURRAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cloud-dreaming/
