Childhood Treasures

Awash in a dream filled sleep content I wandered streets of childhood spent Playing games with ball and jacks Exploring woods and railroad tracks Cops and robbers; you've been caught Penny candy could be bought Slay the dragons; do be brave Shirley Temple's curly wave Hop Scotch drawn on streets with chalk Find some water; skip a rock Neighbor friends who'd play all day Now all grown; they've gone away.
