Ah, Those Childhood Days

The green grass of youth held such happy times From picnics, to football, to baseball and more But, now it holds something that I don’t quite like The weekly mowing that has become my sole chore Childhood days have long, long since gone The laughter, the innocence, the life, the fun I would love to go back to those days before As I’d be outside playing past the setting sun

You know Michael I have always contemplated how part of our lives we spend wishing to be bigger or older I guess would be the term to use and then we reach the point where we wish we were younger - Great poetry you penned today my friend

Me too, me too. I always feel the perfect vacation is to reclaim the mind of a child for a week. : ) Nice to see you back again Michael. Love, Shar

Oh yes....the responsibilities of growing older come with a price. Those childhood carefree days are so brief....if only we could hold on a little longer! ~Thoughtful poem! Best wishes....Carrie
