Memory Bubbles

Walking down a well worn road

Where memories aren't clear

Things you loved have now become

Something no longer dear

Look closely at this child

See it's innocent face

Wonder what will happen when

It enters the material race

Working day and night for

A better house, a faster car

Happiness that is shown on screens

Sometimes just goes way too far

Unexplained joy is what 

A bottle of bubble soap would bring

No worries about how much it costs

Unlike a beautiful golden ring

It's true that the ring lasts longer

It's true that it brings more joy

But think about the child within

And the last time you got it a toy

~written by yours truly~

I think I diverged too much in this one. I mentioned too many things and just skimmed over all of it. I'm thinking about going over it again and removing the extra details and just focusing on one or two things. Then again, aren't soap bubbles like that too? :D
