Do You Remember?
Do you remember when we were young?
How sugar plums shone in the sun
How the moon rose in the sky
Like a giant cheese way up high
How the clouds sailed scudding by
Till it felt as though we and the trees
Moved under the windswept sky.
Do you remember?
Do you remember the dreams we had?
Of dragons lurking in the dark
And fairy dust sprinkled over grass
sparkling in morning light as feet passed
Across the fields of waving grain
Days that lasted full of sunshine
And how it never seemed to rain?
Do you remember?
