Memories Of Childhood Poem by Emma Atkinson

I remember when I was small and little,
So long ago,
When petals were my snow.
I remember when I caught bees
And lived in a world among the trees.
I remember when faeries were real
And pixies lived in the field.
I remember when frogs talked to me
And we sang our own harmony.
I remember when castles were made of sand,
And I was queen over all the land.
I remember when I could make pine cones into cakes
And puddles into lakes.
I remember when I crossed a raging river,
And pulled arrows out of my quiver.
I remember when dogs were stallions
And seashells worth a thousand galleons.
I remember when I held a war-dance in a fountain
And scaled the unscalable mountain.
I remember when wonder was not so brittle,
So long ago,
When I was small and little.
