Gift me some sweetness

Wrapped in

Cherished memories of

The twinkling past,

Gift me some sweetness

With a nostalgia

That forever lasts,

Gift me some sweetness

Of the tears shred

With a pain of

Smiling times long gone,

Gift me some sweetness

Flavored with every taste of life

One that I can keep in my mouth

And treasure for a lifetime.
