Our days were carefree and light,
And as we ran through meadows bright,
Our laughter floated free
Our shoes lay abandoned,
feet flying loose.
We chased our dreams like
Butterflies flitting,
Out of reach, but never out of sight
and when the day was done,
We would lay to rest all
Aches and Joys and Troubles and Laughter,
Knowing that when next we opened our eyes,
a new dream would be waiting,
Happiness and Innocence at our sides
Those were the days when
our souls were Unmarred and
Unrestrained, like birds
Soaring through the skies.
And as we lived, we grew,
were Molded and Shaped
into the people God knew
we could be.
And though those times of carefree bliss
may never again return,
we shall Forever cling to their memories,
And carry their echoes
Deep within our hearts.
