My Playground.

The yard my world Or so I’m told Was where I spent my time Where this little lass A tomboy too Loved rolling in the grass. Trees ladened with mangoes yellowed with ripe A great temptation to this little child Who with a stone and David’s aim Brought mangoes down Goliath style Playmates I had and many too From chickens, birds and ducks To puppies, pigeons, turkeys and cats Not to mention the upside down bats. A sister and brother my siblings two My sister’s a lady no sport for fun My brother my follower was my ally won He did what I told Him no questions asked But got many a spanking when we crossed the line. The old hammock swung from a branch That bellied and hung Quite low to the ground For many a day both brother and I swinging to and fro did topple to the ground. But best were the moments I spent with God when we talked of many things while I blamed Him for everything that went wrong in my life Oh those precious memories are the fabric of my life.
