Thoughts
March 11, 2022
I’m gonna miss those times
I already miss those times
The sound of the screen door closing
The smell of the honeysuckle and gardenias
Charcoal and hamburgers
Popsicles by the pool
The southern charm
And “Yes ma’am schools good,”
Jokes and laughs
Campfires and marshmallows
Watching Harry Potter and Narnia over and over
Playing in the toy closet for hours on end
Not having a care in the world
Not a single thought of tomorrow
The infinite innocence of childhood
Living purely for excitement
Happiness
And occasionally causing a little trouble
Now I’m older
Now it’s only thoughts
Thoughts of what’s to come
Thoughts of tomorrow
