Years of Play

Kid faces often changed names during my child years of play

but fun adventures same filled each child's innocence sachet

that I hope life retained to aid the adults all became one day.

Inside, games, crafts and pretend dramas made home a fun stay.

The most vibrant quests were amazingly best in nature's array.

Surely childhood play attends adulthood with youthful sway.

I love this CayCay! Kids used to have so much fun without the cost of expensive toys. Give them a blanket to build a fort or a tree house crudely built and they were in heaven! I hope you are having a great week. xxoo
