The seeds of love was already sown and slowly began to grow
We had to learn from each other is how we stayed in the know
Brothers and sisters were we, a special gift to one another
Growing up together as children with a loving father and mother
Hide and seek and playing tags was two of our favorite games
No time left for bullying or calling each other out their names
Rolling around an old worn tire with just a tiny piece of stick
Racing and trying to get ahead you had better be more than quick
We never had the time to say that our life was just a bore
Playtime we had were many other times we were given a chore
Climbing the many tall trees was only just a part of the fun
Lying in the thick broom grass face up to the shining sun
The neighbors who lived next to us was a part of our family
An extension of love and devotion is how our friends should be
We all lived in a community that always tried to stick together
In good times and bad times or in any kind of stormy weather
Winters fury finally came and the gusty cold winds began to blow
Ground was a blanket of white we slipped and slided in the snow
Blessings were plentiful we only had to reach out to receive
Were already placed there before us we just only had to believe

Wonderful are those childhood days. We never forget them. Older we get more precious they become. Way of life is we can't wait to get older when we are children. Beautiful poem Patricia. Thank you.
electronics have taken over our children s beautiful minds, they won't know what it was to live in our time playing in piles of leaves in the fall and in the winter making igloos in the snow and staying at home just playing tic tac toe
An excursion back to childhood days is so gratifying and rejuvenating! I wonder children of the present can ever tell of any pastimes like climbing trees, playing hide and seek or lying over grass with face up! These are all enjoyments, young ones of a particular time had, irrespective of geograpical and cultural differences! Enjoyed this sweet write, Pat!
