Nostalgia
some days are like that my thoughts find you the boy you were
your laughter your tussled blond hair your sky blue eyes
the way you would say “mom – mom” and then fill in the blanks
with your latest discovery always excited in the moment
the small things and large you helped me see the world anew
you pad across the sand your footprints follow you your red swim trunks
your strong shoulders the grains of pink sand between your fingers
the seashells collected the little fish in your aquarium
salt water hauled up to the deck you studied sea life
up close filled the hours watching to see
that other world not so far away you created memories for me
filled my heart with days gone by today... i am reminded of sunny days
precious memories of you i would not trade them for diamonds or gold
my heart is filled with thoughts of a boy and seagull cries

Sweet nostalgia
Have a good Wednesday
Much love...
This is soo beautiful.. so incredibly tender and poignant..!
Thoughts of a boy with sky blue eyes.....treasured memories, my friend. We were so lucky to have them for as long as we did, would not trade them for the life of a millionaire. Not a chance!
This wrenches at my heart (being also the mother of sons).
Oh yes, the memories of those days cannot be traded....for anything. I am glad you have such good memories.
This is really sweet. Such sweet moments captured.
ah, yes..."you created memories for me"...so much precious than gold or diamonds...sigh...
Blond boys with sky blue eyes capture our hearts...especially if they call us "Mom". Love this!
Oh thank you for taking me there to a time of joy when only the seagulls cry.
Love hurts so much and we are so glad it does. Beautifully written Annell.
Beautiful memories Annell. I'm glad they bring you comfort.
Your full heart has given rise to this beautiful, although painful, poem. Thank you.
So beautiful those memories, and I do have memories myself like that.
