Sitting On The Rock

The rock by the river solid and steady

Inside is amassed a lot of stories

Inscribed on it words of promise

With the passing of time have become histories

Sitting on the rock by the riverside

 Till the tide was on the ebb

Enjoying a pastime of giggle and talk

Defying the ticking of the clock

The innocence of kids world
Of sweet moments in the smiles show
Reminiscence in a faded photo

Of a time so long ago.

Dedicated to the boy in baju Melayu on his birthday, 26 October.
