"Childhood is the one story that stands by itself in every soul."
Quote by _Ivan Doig
Natural
I remember my dad, oh, he was a fine man, and he loved my mom so, they
loved all the children so much. I adored mom's touch and her sweet hugs each
day. We had a cat or six and we got lots of licks, sometimes they ran from us
but gran always held one. We really loved to cook pies, they could win a prize.
Mom ... me in the garden, the workload no burden, the flowers were divine
dad said they were sublime. Gran liked her rocking chair, rock ... rock without
a care. I have good memories ... our house was vintage old. To a park we strolled. I skated on a hill, my skates went to goodwill. Oh, my young years
were good, with a happy childhood !

I remember my dad,
oh, he was a fine man,
and he loved my mom so,
7 they loved all the children so much.
5 I adored mom's touch
and her sweet hugs each day.
We had a cat or six
and we got lots of licks,
7 sometimes they ran from us but
5 gran always held one.
7 We really loved to cook pies,
5 they could win a prize.
Mom ... me in the garden,
the workload no burden,
the flowers were divine,
dad said they were sublime.
Gran liked her rocking chair,
rock ... rock without a care.
I have good memories,
7 our house was vintage old
5 To a park we strolled.
I skated on a hill,
my skates went to goodwill.
Oh, my young years were good,
with a happy childhood !
