Hide-And-Seek Child

Hide-and-seek Child Where did my little boy go, the cheerful one I use to know who’d run and play without a care? I can not find him anywhere. I thought I saw him yesterday when I looked out across the way, a little boy beside the tree playing hide-and-seek with me. He disappeared without a trace but I still see his smiling face and feel his hand as he touched me once upon a memory. I blinked and he became a man. It was not something I had planned but children grow so quick it seems as if they’re only ours in dreams.
