Childhood
Memories of an innocent child
Days of play and running wild
Soft green grass tickles small bare feet
Racing through the weeds so fast and fleet
Laughing, giggling just having fun
Dancing beneath a golden sun
Joyful voices raised in glee
Brother and sisters surrounding me
Another summer game has begun.
Carefree childhood days and sleepy, moonlit nights
Catching grasshoppers and chasing fireflies lights
Laying in the warm sweet grass
Making pictures in the clouds that pass
Far away from cares and frights.
Summers weather soft and mild.
Lessons learned in summer, far away from school
Where to find a mushroom or a trout in a cool, deep pool
Constellations in the nights dark sky
Did Daddy ever tire of hearing "why"?
Worn out at night, we laughed like fools
The exhausted, slept until the new warm sun opened our eyes.
