Cherished Reminiscences

"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown ..." Quote by _Samuel Taylor Coleridge (from his writings) Buried deep in the coffin of my mind, Memories of my youth; aged like fine wine. I've got a few cherished ones to exhume! I recall one chilly autumn noon running around the park With the neighborhood kids, then I'd run indoors To warm up when winds start to groan and whistle. Brrr! Ah, the halcyon days of summer sitting in the shade Wolfing down watermelons with my best friend, Lloyd, Cheering on kids playing basketball in the backyard. I remember one harsh winter sprinkling play sand And rock salt on walkways with Dad before snowfall, So snow won't stick to the ground. Fun times!
