a poem about my childhood memories

#poem #poetry #nostalgia #childhood

Somewhat in the style of this week's artist, with an original poem attached. Vintage image from Flickr Collage Images. The poem reads: I see them now, as they were then So many years ago And I'd bring back those simpler times If only it could be so. Barefoot days and childhood games In the lazy summer sun And Mama calling from the door When day was gone and done Time moves on and life unfolds As it was meant to be But in my mind, in memory I bring them back to me.

But our children, and later, our grandchildren can renew and restore the childlike in all of us. If we will yield to it.
