Childhood

Childhood such a time was it. When youth was here to stay, or so we thought. Waiting so patiently for adulthood to arrive. Summers were spent in carefree days of play. Friends we held so dear to our hearts, were there for us to lean on. Life was so simple summer time, was our holiday to spend as we wished. Those gleeful times now have vanished. Adulthood has arrived and we, are dreaming of those days, long ago when we were, so young and so free. wrote 12-1-08
