What am I
searching for
as I grow older
and feel the aches
and pains of life.

Is it my loves
of the past
when I was younger
with hopes and dreams
that became lost.

Is it my friends
from younger days
when we ran
and played
with no cares in the world.

Is it my parents
gone so long ago
teaching me
and holding me,
showing me love.

All my life
and all this time
my search goes on
within my mind,
memories of beautiful times
