Simple Pleasures

Playing with the kittens Full of scratches I was gettin Sitting in the apple tree for hours Dreaming of how God chose the colors of the sky Watchfully gazing As the clouds passed by Long walks on the farm with dad Training the beagles But what I loved the most Talks on the porch sitting so close PUPPIES everywhere nibbling, cuddling Huge smiles There’s nothing better as a child Hanging upside down on my swing set Still wondering about God’s paint set How much fun God must have everyday To start the morning off with such delightful play Catching bees, lightning bugs and baby birds that had fallen Running from the bees and the momma birds That were calling Riding in the back of the truck with my uncle When he went to feed the cows Do kids get to do anything That cool now With my grandma Id sew Small creations of the day She always put out Proudly on display Braids dangling from my cowboy hat Shooting my pop gun at the cat Watching Roy Rodgers Not missing a day He was my hero And still is today Sneaking so silently With my butterfly net But never close enough Could I get No video games Not much tv Please explain to me what you did All I can say is that it was A great time to be kid
