Hands held together nearly touching <br />Cupping energy and loving memories <br />Remembering when a child was young <br />Gentle thoughts sprinkled with giggles <br /> <br />An open book of colorful nursery rhymes <br />Old and tried… brand new to little ears <br />Delight was shown as tiny fingers pointed <br />Turning pages until there were no more <br /> <br />Newly hatched baby chicks softly peeping <br />Placed gently into a child’s open hand <br />Wide opened eyes were amazed at the sight <br />Excited curiosity could hardly be contained <br /> <br />A silver dollar placed very tenderly <br />As a remembrance of a special visit <br />A rare coin that was not often seen <br />Hidden in a safe place… never spent <br /> <br />Thoughts of a mother and grandmother… <br />And a traveled road to a distant aunt <br />Recalling when I was a small child <br />Memories that remain of maternal love <br /> <br />3/31/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remembering-when/
