Old Time Treasures

Spinning rope and skimming stones games we played before we got old. Hide and seek and jumping hoop mores games played in or youth. Lemon drops and red shoe laces sugary things to stuff our faces. Sweet cream cakes oh how our bellies ached Cuts on our knees running to mommy for a plaster please Kissing it better there was no better pleasure Kicking a ball back and forth off a wall and hopscotch the game we skipped through it all. Eating candyfloss and days at the beach no suncream and burnt like a peach. These are the days we remember with pleasure kept in our mind like a chest full of treasure.
