FLASHES
 

Flashes in my mind,
pushing you on a swing,
somewhere, a million miles away,
a hear a phone begin to ring.

Flashes in our mind,
going back through so much time,
in an instant we again can feel,
what has created this life of mine.

Flashes in my mind are here,
skipping stones was such fun,
hour after hour passed by,
skipping stones in the sun.

How could so many years,
have gotten away so fast,
and yet it flashes so quickly,
a thought connects the past.

Rowing a boat,
on a gentle lake,
peace and quiet all around,
sweet memories to make.

Holding hands so tight,
walking in the snow,
growing with wonder and dreams,
that only tomorrow would know.

Flashes of light, flashes of thought,
bringing back sweet days,
the snow and the rain,
promises of love always.

So many loves ago,
where are any of them now,
all a part of who I am,
life came together somehow.

Flashes of hurt,
flashes of fun,
flashes of confusion,
flashes of pain,
flashes of summer nights,
flashes of wanting to stay,
flashes of wanting to go,
flashes of what was to come,
flashes of thinking I'd know,
flashes of where I was,
flashes of who was there,
flashes of love I felt,
flashes that make me care.
