Those Days

I miss those days of hopscotch

Doing handstands against the wall

Skipping, riding bikes, running free

Playing with friends…. having a ball!


Those days of youthful exuberance and excitement 

Of joyful simplicity personified

Not knowing back then its true beauty and value

Until viewed through adult eyes

Well I must have been mean't to read this I Just got off the phone to a pastor I know And I hit on this realty in a different way.' I said To him there is a time when you are by a river Where there is great beauty and friendship..Yet It is soon gone' we remember yet can never get Back and do things extra we could have then I said to him 'it will be like that with us' our ways Will part..And we will be part of something else He protested' yet he's younger than me' Best make the most of life.'

Thankfully I call still recall those good old days but sadly how I wish we could take time back. My children are almost my age and I often wonder if they are thinking like me...it would be so nice to have our childhood back. I enjoyed your poem. Thanks for the Reminder, I am old ! lol

You captured my heart with this one. A simple and clean write, bringing memory of simple and joyful times. A short piece with long reaching emotion. I truly enjoy your work, words and wisdom. Darrell
