Carol Tried To Tell Us
Good Night Everybody
I long for those days of my childhood memories
Though they seemed long, they flew by so fast
The ones that nurtured my heart and my dreams
*
Where the ones that I loved, were all there with me
Like a movie scene, and we were the cast
I long for those days of my childhood memories
**
I know things weren't perfect, so don't think me, naive
But as long as we were together we helped the hurts pass
The ones that nurtured my heart and my dreams
***
Today I look back and wonder how it could be
I'm missing something I fear, I'll never get back
I long for those days of my childhood memories
****
Give me the treasures that don't cost a thing
That today seem, cannot be amassed
The ones that nurtured my heart and my dreams
*****
I will try to preserve the love that was given to me
The kind my daughters can count on to last
I long for those days of my childhood memories
The ones that nurtured my heart and my dreams

This was great! Carol was right, wasn't she? Loved it
Oh, how we should have listened to Carol.
YAAY it's a villanelle 😄 I love how you recall your childhood and the ones you love — a movie where they became the cast. Ooo I love the sassiness in the naive bit. I long for... When it got to the fourth tercet. My heart melted and I started to long for... Along with you. Then it got to the quatrain and I am very close to tears. Oh how amazing this was. Amazingly sad, yet beautiful 🤗❤️
Your poem brings a lot of memories to my mind as well. I remember that Carol song too. This is when I go to my old photo albums and just look and remember.
