[Mrs. Cozier]



There was a time

Now far away

That now belongs

To yesterday



But late at night

If you believe

There are still parts

You can retrieve



Beyond our memories

Past where the eyes can see



Well disguised

Waiting there

Dream devised



Safe from time's

Endless reach

Everything

A child can teach



What to keep

What to save

When to dare

An ocean's wave



There among life's memories

Remnants of a lullaby and thee



There was a time

Now long before

We found a way

To close each door



But in our minds

Through labyrinths deep

Late in our lives

Those doors we seek



And in our fantasies

We try to, find the keys



Reach the stairs

Follow them

Each to where



Scattered there

On the ground

Everything

Lost is found



Wished on coins

Childhood wings

Carousels

Still turning



Waiting there patiently

Remnants of a lullaby

And thee
