Once A Tiny Child
By: Susan Maree Jeavons

Where once a tiny child walked
upon these wooden floors,
now only wee shadows waltz
swiftly through the doors.
Finger prints are wiped away
with Kool-Aid grins and tears,
where once a tiny child walked
and quickly disappeared.
Packed away in attic trunks,
their teddy bears and toys,
where once a tiny child walked;
dear little girls and boys.
Time will never take away
memories that remain
where once a tiny child walked
to make me smile again.
