Youth

Hop, skip Dive and dip, Here I go to and fro Hurry mom you're way to slow. I picked this flower For you today But then the wind Blew the fuzz away. I made my bed And ate my peas, Can I now have My candy Please? The cat is fed The dog wants out Can we throw The ball about? I love you, mom I love you, dad My teeth are brushed My prayers are said. Tuck me in Turn out the light I love you both Goodnight, goodnight. Cile Beer

This is a fabulous poem! I am surprised it has not received much applause! May be the title Youth should be changed to - suggest ‘ Childhood days’! I love this poem!
