Childhood Nostalgia

no recollection
of ebullient memories
life of complex work
too many siblings to please
time for ice-cream if afford

a time of prayer
afterwards back to play cloths
with sweetbread and friends
a time children seen not heard
not enough love to go round

Hi Eve. And so it was on the farm but we all knew we were loved and treasured. No ice cream unless we made it ourselves. Congratulations on your win! Linda

Life is different for each child. Some have healthier experiences than others. This was sad to me, it tugged on my heart. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

'Children seen, not hear' about sums it up for those times... Now on the internet, nobody's seen, everybody's heard. Go figure...

Sometimes life is not easy, and childhood can be difficult at its best. I hope this was about a family you knew and not your own. If it is your own, I hope that you got in adulthood some of what you missed in your childhood. I appreciate your visit to my blog. I have done some updates. SK
