When We Were Five

When We Were Five


I loved you once
when we were young;
but, young is gone
and so are we.

Faded photo
on the table
we were happy
just you and me.

On the front steps
sitting pretty.
“Say cheese”, says Mom,
“There, lets see.”

Both five we were,
and full of dreams.
Life was simple,
away back then.

I miss you now,
and dreams we had;
but dreams are gone,
and so are we.
