Looking Back Fondly

As a child I remember dancing in my socks on our hardwood floors
Spinning round and round
Happy-not a care in the world
Oh how I long to return to that exact moment in time
When my soul was free-untroubled
The world was mine-the entire universe within my grasp
When I could still hear the birds sing and bees hum-nature's orchestra
When fruits still tasted sweet
Before reality stung me-blowing my candle out
Before life became so hard and burdensome-like torture
