Go and Play

Words burnt in my brain,
Times not to come again,'
Of long lost childhood,
Things motherly-good?
"Go and play!" 
That's all she'd say,
In a big back yard,
Veggie patch too hard,
Mud pies we played,
Fun times stayed,
Boy, was there trouble!
Fled on the double,
"Go and play!" 
That's all she'd say,
Long lost childhood, 
Things maternal--good?
