Childhood

Playing in a pile of rustic colored leaves

Breezes blowing them up high in the air

Do you want to come play with me?

Building sand castles upon the ocean’s sandy shore

Watching waves wash them all away

Wading in water up to ones knees

Stop water splashing at me please!

Swimming out to a resting floating raft

Later taking a ride, rowing in a tiny boat

Fishing from the ocean shores

Listening to sounds of the mighty ocean’s roars

Hiking down a trail in the deep quiet woods

There goes a scared-up running deer

See the white flash of her high up raised white under tail

Listen to nature’s animal warnings, telling
that we are there

Barking and chatting of squirrels, the squawking of two blue jays back and forth

Listen can’t you hear the caw, caw of that black feathered sentry, that lonely crow

He‘s letting all the world to know that we are here

The explosion of a rising grouse from it’s hide-away, hidden deep within the forest’s brush

A duck flapping wings, on a rise from it’s placid pond

A chipmunk chattering upon an old forgotten stone wall in the woods

A human is here, all woodland creatures watch out,beware!

It’s time to go and seesaw in the park

Play on the children’s swings until it’s dark

Oh, Now I have to go home, eat, do my homework and go to bed

Tomorrow I will go to school, can’t wait

Oh! To be a child again to go out in the school yard to play!

(Wanting to be a child again!)
