Flashes of Childhood

"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood" Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842 I remember my good old childhood days ~ feasting on fresh fruits, playing indoor games, sharing home made meals - memory that stays! Calling each other by naughty nicknames, driving to nearby districts for weddings; frozen in mind, those indelible frames! Attending all cottage prayer meetings, learning to cycle mid falls and bruises, being on time for thanksgiving greetings; playing catch with friends, fights and excuses, watching cartoons, Shaktimaan* episodes; we were free from worries and abuses! Family together time at crossroads ~ that's what I recall as flashback implodes. *Shaktimaan - a Superhero serial 11.19.2020 For Constance La France's "Terza Rima form" contest
