My tender youth Untouched and fragile Unfazed by the ticking of time Challenges Behavior and rules Eventful and demanding Thoughts and reflections Milking the cows in the barn five o'clock in the morning before breakfast Physical stimulation through play and work No phone or internet Facebook, instagram or snapchat The future is created of the past Focus on dreams set goals

I like the way we see the future in the past in this way, Anne-Lise. Enjoyable poem. (And I have memories of milking cows!)

So much to get the mind boggled up with, mine is playing the games on facebook, Just like playing the one arm bandit.

It brings back memories of the farm. The only place I was sad to move away from when I was a kid.

minus the farm, you described my childhood perfectly. Glad I didn't have the mindless activities of FB, etc. Well written, Anne-Lise. Have a splendid day, Sara

- Minus the farm on me too, Sara ... we were out with friends ... and playing ... as long as there was daylight ... we had some rules that we had to follow ... and help a little at home ... which we thought was ok :) - hugs
