Little Thoughts

one day her

little footsteps

I followed

 

this thought that

once came to me

 

with playful pull

she took me to play

 

in places

I’ve never seen

nor likely ever be

 

I met people there

I’ve never known

nor will ever really meet

 

I’ve been following

little thoughts ever since

looking for the first that went away

Author's Note

Every poem has a story.
This one I wrote for my youngest little one when she was 5. It's been over 12 years since.

Lovely nostalgic melancholy!
The more "present" we are at the formation of a memory, the more that will later be recaptured for our enjoyment.
Work to be treasured, WM.

This is so bittersweet...

A lovely experience in life is never forever is it?
sigh...
Appreciate the moments as they are sweeping by so fast.. :)
