THE ECHOINGS OF CHILDREN:


Walking through the corridors of time, the echoes I hear,

Those echoings of children now gone & are no longer here,

The pitter-patter of tiny feet, once padding my heart´s floor,

The little squeals of delight, that sadly, are not here anymore.

 

The echoings of children, in their playground´s happy playing,

Sleepy night-time stories & their “God bless Mummy”, praying,

Errant kites, high flapping, upon those childhood giggling skies,

Released & lost up to the heavens, upon the teasing breezy sighs.

 

Peek-a-boo, Ring-a-o`roses, all those sweet voiced nursery rhymes,

The classroom chants & games, innocent echoings of past times,

Rumblings, tumblings, scrapings, of all those tiny tear-jerked knees,

Soft murmurs of midnight dreamings & the escaping little sneeze.

 

Oh for the echoings of children, those small passing, flighty beings,

Their voices in old walls, sadly, outlive their swift-gone seeings,

Memory of chatty sticky hands & on small nape, sweaty little curl,

Words echoing of, “I love you lots, you´re my best Mum in the world”.
