Forgotten Field Of Forever

Thinking back, in daze and all glassy-eyed 
Remembering back when, when I was young
Yesterday's afternoon, I nearly cried 
I guess my age now made me feel high strung 

That life field, I played at so long ago 
My friends and I built forts and sleigh rid there 
And still, the plants that I planted- still grow  
My sister's flowers, from her love and care 

Wonder why, no one plays there anymore 
We'd have so much fun there when were tots 
Children really don't play outside no more 
Computer games have their hands tied in knots 

As I sit in silence, thinking back then 
Those good old days were the best, way back when

What a beautiful sonnet, so well constructed. The past will not be forgotten for we lived a better life.
