A Lifetime Ago

A lifetime ago,

there were two girls showering in their clothes together,
a mission of climbing the million mile farmyard fence,
and a chubby baby gurgling in a stroller.

There was an elephant in france,
dreams of russia,
and a gelato a day in italy.

There were toys to play with,
friends to see
and a family to spend time with.

There was a house filled with sunshine, chocolate cake and light opera.

But somehow,
there came a crack in the hull,
and the ship sank.

Now,
there is a ship at the bottom of the sea,
tangled in seaweed,
and covered in barnacles.

And a fresh start,
seems another lifetime away.
