Children's Summer

The grassy fields of mankind’s youth
Were soft, so lush and green
Where childhood days of running free
Were more than just a dream

The days were spent always with friends
As smiles fell on our faces
Alive, so happy, playing games
Hide and seek in many places

When the sun set, we had gone home 
As the dinner bell did call
Quickly we ate, sat with family
Then ran out again for ball

Then when dark, we stayed close to home
And played until very late
To bed we went, with dreams to have
Of the things we’d do the next day
