Today, I walked by that old ground

It had an iron gate, flowers around

Colourful butterflies were flutterin'

Ladies on bench, useless muttering

Light hues of skies were so pourin'

I smiled even though it was boring

To wander around neglected parks

Which are shaded by soaring larks

But I walked over to that huge tree

Where we had swung...light 'n' free

Stepping around, a nostalgia kisses

As a ringin' laugh, my heart misses

My eyes find your soft pretty name

Carved on crusty bark without aim

How I had emblazoned it with care

Years ago, we had minutes to spare

Away from this worry, how to earn

All we did was play, smile 'nd learn

When God let us taste soft paradise

I felt lost in our childhood's reprise

When all I ever liked was your curls

Your softly trodden steps 'nd swirls

It so entranced me, your innocence

Oh! how we reveled in evanescence

Your voice ringed like a windchime

But..I lost you to the contest of time

'N' now I wish to play lost an' found

Once again, in this old...
