The smell of Lilacs in Spring
Bring back all the memories
of being an innocent.
Running around outside
in the summer time
Bathing suit and Sprinkler.
Ice cream & rap poker with Grandpa;
Bring me home.
Beautiful changes of all four seasons;
April showers
that bring May flowers.
Beet red, auburn, and yellow-gold leaves.
Look up to the sun lit sky;
watch them fall,
feather-like
from the bareness
of a once full Oak tree.
Rake them up into a round pile
and fall into them.
Hear them Crinkle and crunch;
stuck to your clothes
imbedded in your hair.
Laughter.
Bring me home
Drink hot cocoa
from a thermos
lost in conversation;
old memories and new ones.
Stories you will tell for generations to come.
Watch the snow fall;
Chilling.
But thankful
when the temperature is above Zero.
Never be alone,
because my family in my heart
is what brings me home!
