"CC my playmate"

Innocence still exists
held on to some
for dear life.
Memories, stories and wishes
Possibilities still in my blood.
The rest, only I can toss away
...why should I, why would I?
That child still wants to play.
Selfish and needy
Harsh and sometimes greedy.
Taught myself to live on
as hard, as it, has been.
Ahhh, the innocence
...Is in!

CC my playmate comes out to play with me
we always have a ball,
but I know I can't always call.
Unused in the proper time,
she sits and waits to be sublime.

Adult life interrupts
me and CC's chance to disrupt.
Duties and chores precede,
my need to play
hide-n-seek.

But as time goes on and by,
and eventually it will subside.
Comforting thoughts that
the innocence left behind,
will be there til' the end of my time
....with CC right by my side.
