To be a child, once again.

Jonny and Susie
Sitting on a bench
Gazing at the sun
Watching it set
His arm around her
As she leans in
Snuggling closer
Feeling safe with him
In her hand she holds
Slightly withered daisies
That he had picked
As poor little Buddy
Patiently waits
For his fishing trip
But Jonny pays no heed
For he only thinks of Susie
Secure within his arms
Completely content
And utterly disarmed
A time of innocence
And childhood romance
Once upon a time
Oh, to be young again
My sweet heart of mine

    The photo looks like a Norman Rockwell photo. Unfortunately, the only time I feel young again is in my dreams; or when I read poetry.

    Wow Lady Sunshine, what a wonderful poem you have penned here. The way you have penned the words and picture together is extremely creative as I applaud you for a job well done. Oh, to be young again in a time where things were not made so complicated by ourselves. Thank You Lady for sharing this amazing talent you have with all of us. You are such a Gem. Excellent Poem Dear Lady…

    Hi Lady Sunshine, childhood, if we could only turn back the clock. Thanks for the memories and the timeless Norman Rockwell picture. Well done my friend.

    I used to look at such pictures and wonder why I never knew such innocence. Buddy and I are going fishing.
