Echoes of childhood

Soft whispers of yesterday,

Echoes in the quiet gray.

Fingers tracing faded scars,

Memories like fallen stars.

Walking through a home of echoes,

Shadows dance along the walls.

Laughter lingers in the air,

Lost in time, beyond compare.

Holding on to every smile,

Feeling the tears linger awhile.

Restless heart, you're torn in two,

Yearning for what once was true.

Hold tight, don’t let go,

In these memories’ glow.

Restless soul, float free,

Back to childhood’s sea.

Fading pictures, gentle rain,

Washing away the pain.

Still, I cling to yesterday,

In my heart, they stay.

Walking down my memories,

Childhood’s melody.

Restless but still whole,

Forever in my soul.
