Childhood Memories

Thinking back to when I was a kid

There were so many things that we did

Kick the Cans, making snow forts, and flashlight tag too

When we were kids, there was so much we could do

Squirt guns were loaded and ready to aim

We never lacked fun, there was always a game

Don't Spill The Beans, Don't break the ice, and Monopoly

There was always someone who would play them with me

Catching frogs and toads on the Island was fun

One got loose in Mom's bedroom, its hopping days are done

Never did find that toad that got away

I'll always remember that time to this day

Swimming at the Beach and going under

Being a kid had me filled with wonder

Even as an adult wonder still fills my soul

Because I let myself wander wherever I go

I always think back to those days long ago

Seems like a different lifetime that I use to know

Yet they are written in my journey's book

For those wishing, can always take a look

As an adult I keep the child nearby

I imagine I'm a hero and start to fly

Flying so far and I reach the place

Where love finds me with a smiling face

I'll always remember the days of long ago

because as a child we had no worries, and

always had fun. It was all about fun. We

had family, and the best love from them.

I look back to those days when I was a child,

and yet people tell me I am still one today.

Because I am still having fun, enjoying life.
