The scent of childhood
Childhood smells
like my baby
that day
I buried my nose
in his neck
and found
his warm baby smell
was gone
replaced by the scent
of fresh air, sunshine
and
the sweet sweat
of growing child.
I was thrown back
to when I was young
running outside
with friends
away
from the comfort
of Mommy
to
life.
I smelled
this
and
eyes filled
heart ached
for I knew
my baby
was
no more.
