Frozen In Time--By Michael Todd--United States

Frozen In Time (for Donna)

Nostalgic thoughts and remembrances, frozen in time...

A large get together, neighborhood gathers for croquet,

Or, for one or two, find that special tree to climb.

Cares of the world, a world away, was a time to play.

Late of the day, we would listen for the bell to toll.

Eskimo Pies, Bullets, Shivers, one or more if you please.

Frozen treats awaited, as the Merry Mobile would roll.

Push Ups, Dreamsicles, Twin Pops, provide the freeze.

No cares in the world, nothing could rain on our parade.

We held the Buried Treasure in our hands, on a stick.

One dime at a time, and we were off to find out shade.

Lest you want it to melt, better off to eat it quick.

I am grateful for what brought this back to my recall.

It allows me to reflect on times past, in subtle mime.

I hope this allows the same for others, time to stall,

And gather in your youthful memories, frozen in time.
