Time


Here I am, trapped today
With no future plan at all
My past and memories were my only treasures
That I ever seemed to recall

Living my past, I enter the future
With no regrets or shame
My past had taught me about my present
As soon as the future came

A cycle is planted in my life
That buds from past to future
It only takes a matter of time
Before I arrive back here

My future is no different from my past
No surprises I will await
Only the memories of my loved but lost ones
Rages my anger and hate

A Child's Laughter


One of a kind this cheerful sound
A child's laughter wherever it's found
From the giggling of a baby in a playpen
To the laughter of a toddler again and again

A child's laughter can bring a smile
To one who hasn't done so in such a long while
I know because that one was me
Until my daughter's0laugh set mine free

A child's laughter so gleeful and pure
An innocence adults miss for sure
Laughter that can bring back the past
And memories of a youth that flew by so fast

A child's laughter can bring out the best
Of most many man when he's depressed
Cause his spirit that's fall to soar
Until at last he laughs once more

This second slice I chose even though we have no children of our own I still find the sound of a childs laughter to be one of the most infectious and cheering sound I hear

John, I love BOGOF's!

Lovely poems, and I know what you mean about childrens laughter. I love TV adverts with kids chuckling on there. Always makes me smile.[:)]
