Childhood Memories
The Of My Childhood Are Listed Below;
"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842
Being outside and playing double dutch,
with my sister, cousins, and my best friend.
Jump rope, we really loved it so much.
We enjoyed playing hopscotch to no end.
hoping to each square was a sheer delight,
Back then, the game happened to be a trend
We would go to the park to fly a kite,
swing on swings, and get on the giant slide,
On the days when it was sunny and bright.
I remember playing a game of hide,
and seek; it was exciting and much fun,
but the little kids were found and they cried.
The memories of my youth, I have tone,
we had a good time playing in the sun.
