emotion, the long time’s depression of the emotion distract people from the

每个人都拥有属于自己童年的记忆. -----题记童年，是朦胧的诗，是淡雅的画，是经典的歌……童年的我，天真幼稚、机灵活泼;童年的我，想象丰富、乐观开朗。

在那逝去的年华里，我是简单而幸福的。不必说望着星空发呆的悠闲，不必说躲在被窝里睡懒觉的惬意，也不必说模仿球星投篮时的兴奋，单是吮吸着冰糕看着漫画在大街上闲逛的那份无与伦比的简单快乐，就能让我回味无穷。

在那些逝去的年华里，我体味到一种叫“爱”的东西。也许是老师带病仍坚持为我们上课的情景;也许是妈妈冒雨为我送来干爽和安慰的情景;也许是同学们主动帮我打扫教室卫生的场景……究竟是哪种情景触动了我敏感的心弦，都无从谈起。但有一点可以确定，在“母爱”、“师爱”、“友爱”等“爱”的一望无际的海洋中，我扬起希望的风帆，努力向前驶去。

在那些逝去的年华里，时间像箭似的掠过，只留我独自一人形单影孤地在记忆的孤岛上徘徊。那一颗颗闪亮的珍珠，是我傻笑时的样子吗?那一只只洁白的鸥鹭，是我幻想时的样子吗?那一棵棵高大的树木，是我成长时的样子吗……轻轻拾起一片思绪的花瓣，我要把它制成一张别致的书签，让它永远在文字的世界里散发芳香，永远……
