Fond Memories

Taking a stroll  together, 
 down the  old country lane,
Brings back many  memories  from   when  we were kids,
Remembering,  how we use to  run through  the fields,
Racing each other and dodging the cow  pats,
It  certainly kept  us fit, 
And  not forgetting the  times, when we would come home wet and muddy
After playing  down  at  the brook jumping  the stepping stones,
Some times   we would come home with  cuts and bruises 
Because we had been climbing trees and pretending we were monkeys,
And when we got hungry,
We would  sit under a shady tree and
 eat our sandwiches and share a bottle of pop, 
Summer time was the best
With long days and warm nights.
