Frozen In Time

When I was young, I used to jump

Into my father's lap, when he returned from office

And now he complains

That I don't even notice.

Time did freeze, when

My sister jumped and sprang

Just to make me laugh

While I fell hard, laughing on the ground.

Time did freeze when I

Was carried around everywhere.

I had my first taste of ice cream

With delight and craving, I would scream.

As I think of those in numerous still and days,

Tears smeared all over my face

The passage of those times was frozen

And so was my heart.
