I’ve no idea how to stop all of the bad things

The harsh realities

We all take quite seriously

And after that,

I’ve no idea how to recapture the youth

Recover and then return to foolproof

But that’s why

We’ve warm summer nights

A violet setting sky

Sweet cream treats, once in a while

A child’s perfect smile

To remind us all

Of the softer side of life

I wish I could remove all of this cruelty

Every budding tear

Each growing fear

Present to you, your former self

Filled with adolescent bravery

And the courage, maturity so envies

But that’s why

We’ve slow, hand-in-hand walks

Whispered, hand-in-hand talks

Whirl wind romance once in a while

A true love’s kiss, just in time

To remind us all

Of the softer side of life

Yes, the most important things we all have

Are these moments, slipping away with Father Time’s sand

In which you will find

The softer side of life…
