Childhood Memories

We used to play and sing

and watch and share almost everything

We used to taste sweet lemon drops

and imagine treasure hunts with all sorts of props;

We used to play hide and seek

behind the bushes and behind the trees;

We used to sit on the walls and talk

and play hop scotch drawn with chalk;

We used to build castles in the sand

and act like pirates with the one eyed band;

We used to read stories of wonderland

and sing and dance in our little fairyland;

We used to look at the far off stars

and were unaware of the terrifying wars;

We used to find love and care

and peace and happiness everywhere;

We used to …but wait…

I will write more if it is not too late.
