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.)
