Summer Adventure

childhood innocence freedom to roam natures way, Galactic image. Another day, adventures sought, friends to meet, rise at five, sun just rising, head for the fields, long day ahead, dog by my side, decisions to make, camping in the hills or den making in the woods, fishing in the stream, brook jumping, make tree swing, bike ride, rock climbing, swim in the lake, bath tub cruise, glorious days of summer, no responsibilities, so free, packed lunch, warm bottle of water, stale roll with cheese, scraps for the dog, life was so good, days so long, we were builders, fishermen, mountaineers, hunters, sailors, sportsmen, explorers, astronauts and pilots, sunset time to head home, memories, tales to tell, ready for dinner, exhausted, look forward to another day. Long day's of desire memories of a lifetime, simple black and white. Composed 08/23/2017.

This is such a good poem Roy! I know that years ago, children did so much outside, compared to today with all the technology. Your poem showed the quality of life , time and so much fun!! :)
