My Profile Pic Memories

Being brought up in the country living in a farm cottage so white an only child adopted as one many memories always in my sight Always had animals around also, garden hut with many a hen my job was collecting eggs such greenery makes it a certain ten Across from our house a swing park where I learned to soar into the sky also a chestnut tree grew nearby in its season fell from up high The river Irvine flowed at our back often walked alongside its shore then threw a stone to make a ripple imagine the sound being a mighty roar Sat on the front step quite a lot especially when its summertime so good looking back on these days makes me ponder on life full of rhyme (Just thinking of my new profile pic, which is of our house where I was brought up in my school and teenage days, brings back many memories of life at that time.)

Childhood reminiscences are so sweet. Sometimes a picture of the old times can bring a train of memories in us. I can visualize a small boy collecting eggs from the chicken coop or walking along a riverside, throwing stones into the river to cause ripples. I love poems that bring in me some childhood memories. Stay blessed dear friend

MEMORIES WILL ALWAYS BE LOCKED AWAY IN OUR MINDS AND HEARTS, AND RECALLING THEM BRINGS BACK SUCH JOY OF OUR CHILDHOOD, OUR TEENAGE ERA, AND THEN THROUGH THE VARIOUS ERAS OF OUR ADULT LIFE. SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS. GORDON, MY EVER PRESENT MISTAKE! Hugs and blessings,Jennifer.
