Carefree Days of Youth

At times my heart longs for
Those days of carefree youthful
 Play when my most pressing thought
Was which game to play next

I would leave my house and
Be gone all day with my cousins
And friends all day we would play

Climb trees go fishing ride our bikes 
come home grab a bite go back out
Till dark 

Sometimes my heart longs
For those days when I did
Roam through the neighboring
Wooded acres I loved

 My thoughts take me back there
From time to time as I sit
Looking out my window with a smile
 And though I can no longer
Play carefree I can still frolic
Through those wonderful memories
