I look at it
The jar filled with chocolates

Each piece assorted
Wrapped with care
& I wonder how similar
It is with memories
Of  my childhood 
Coloured with innocense,
Heartfelt laughter & joyrides
The living in the moment
Close Friends & the fun games
sweet & nostalgic
years that flew by
before I could appreciate 
& know that adulting is hard
those were infact the best days

I look at it, again
The jar filled with chocolates...
