A Time Gone By

I remember a time gone by
when you would run to me
laughing with your arms open wide,
a time when we shared hugs, kisses,
cuddles and giggles
a time when we would run and play
with the sand under our feet
a time when I could kiss your boo boo's away
and you looked at me in amazement
a time when I held your hands
as we crossed the streets
a time when I would sit and
watch you sleep
a time when I held you in my arms
knowing all to soon you'd be grown
a time that for a moment
seemed to stand still
a time of the past yet ever
present in my heart
a time that seemed to go all to quick
and no longer stands still
a time of time gone by is here....
