Scenes of My Childhood

"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
      Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842


I did enjoy my many childhood dreams,
and later, happily, some did come true.
When I look back in time, indeed it seems

the future turned out well- I did pursue
my artwork, writing poems- steady flings-
which, as a child, somehow I always knew.

Crayons and paper were such favored things,
and when I'd reached the age of three or four,
I loved to draw and spread artistic wings.

Next, taking pen to paper was no chore;
as I grew older, by age eight or nine-
was writing poetry to make words soar!

My childhood dreams did grow to shape, refine;
honed gifts of art and words, did intertwine.
