One serendipitous day
sitting on the dock
watching my kids leaving the world behind
For just a blip in time
they remembered being careless and carefree
back before they had their own offspring
and fun was forever redefined
Time gives us so much
even as it demands much in return
we appreciate our gains but then one day
we must pay with our decline
But then one day time gifts us with recall
and sitting on the dock
watching my kids reenact what used to be
I, too, got to remember being young
and eager
and fit
and fine
a beautiful moment in time to become a cherished memory!
