Forgotten days

im depressing :p

Lay down your arms dear father

And carry me to the fields of green

Where we ran down as children

All those years ago.

Bring your familiar eyes

That had gone from your face

And the glitter around your smile

Now left without a trace.

 

Help me, my fair mother,

Comb my hair until its smooth like satin.

Tie it in your old lace bows

That you once cared so much for.

Carry your white canvas

Down the grassy hillside

Shade your pallet with your valiant brush

And color the sky like you did long ago.

 

Walk beside me little brother

And pick up your stones along the way.

Share with me the items you have scavenged

In the days when we were young.

Fill your pockets

With your trinkets and treasures.

Hand me your modest gifts

since now they lie in dust

 

Dance with me big sister

Twirl me around in our green pasture

Jump around with your head held high

Like you use to

Tell me your stories from the days before god

Read me the tales you create

 And bring the light to my eyes

Since they have now faded gray

 

Come back lovley family

Huddle around our old worn hearth

share with me the things you love

and all the things you don't

please don't leave me

with only a few sweet memories

come back and join me here on earth

and bring back the forgotten days

It may have a touch of sorrow to it's theme, but I wouldn't say that it's depressing. Infact, I'll say that it was a notch on the side of uplifting as it tosses us into the memories of good times and happy days. Even though we know as we read, it's about those things we've losed over time, we ride along those happy memories still, for we read to find something to smile with, no that to which we feel we must shed a tear.

Great Ink! Very nicely penned!
