Remembering

"Memories are the gifts of children"


Rolling down a grassy slope
Educing screams of pure delight
Making pies composed of mud
Erecting castles in the sand
Magic puddles lure small feet
Bugs of all design examine
Energy without remission
Rainbows arch to tease the eye
Innocence is on display
Noses test the petals essence
Gleeful is the child at play
