Another memory bank pick

Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
              I lay me down to dream
 of 
     country paths stiles & steep slopes
 those days
    long ago
filled with hope

 I dreamed of days 
        of summer sun 
when my life had just begun
     climbing trees  &cricket on the green
& the first time 
      I made the school team

 Football with coats & bat& ball
       bonfire night &fireworks
 in the Fall
   carol singing through silent streets
       paper chains &
 Christmas treats.
