Younger Years Poem by Holmes Jim

I dreamed a dream of simple things,
Of times gone bye, my younger years,
I played the games of heroic kings,
Heard the chants of playful cheers,

Spent time chasing boyhood goals,
Explored imaginary kingdoms of sorts,
Marched along on leisurely strolls,
Hiding out in homemade forts,

Those were the days of joyful themes,
Which filled my head with youthful deeds,
While acting out adventurous dreams,
Until the light of day recedes.
