    My childhood memories...

    Marbles

    Marbles

     

    Marbles in the sun

    rolling in the dirt

    Hiding in a circle

    kids having fun

    Wooden wagons

    rolling down a hill

    guided by a rope

    All the effort,

    ...all the struggles

    to ride again

    Dragging a heavy wagon

    back up the slope...

    Playing in the creek,

    searching for tadpoles

    Splashing in the waters

    of the old swimming hole...

    Hiking in the woods,

    climbing old trees...

    Times long gone,

    childhood memories...

    Marbles in the sun,

    rolling in the dirt

    Memories in a circle,

    kids having fun

    Oh, the simpler times-kids these days don't even know some our old favorite games-its their loss....Earthly

    We enretained ourselves as kids, now they feel like they have to be entertained

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
