Blog: 178
She sits and recalls
Glimpses of childhood
With sisters and brothers
Now long gone from life
But whose memories of innocence
Or naught come back alive
With fond flashbacks
Of running barefooted for the first time
Of chewing, tasting forbidden foods
Of punishment and discipline
Of pain, joys and sorrows rolled in one
Of pretending one is foolishly in-charge
Of experimentation and teasing
Of engaged minds in discoveries
Of calling to mind vignettes of yesteryear
Of impressionable circumstances
Of familiar and unfamiliar faces and voices
She sits and rambles
From one incident to the next
Until her eyes well up in tears
For gifts of joyful recollection!
