Yesterday Once More

Yesterday Once More

It seems like only yesterday

I was young and climbing trees

Running through the forest

Scraping arms and knees

Playing tag or hide and seek

Hop-scotch or skipping rope

Making a bow and arrow

Building a periscope

Playing ball on the local lot

Wishing upon a star

Swinging on a hanging vine

Stealing from the cookie jar

Tossing a ball against a wall

Making figures out of clay

Raiding the local apple trees

Jumping in a pile of hay

Cowboys and Indians was my game

Saturday morning cartoons

Running around like hooligans

Acting like silly baboons

Memories all come flooding back

As I sit here and reminisce

Of halcyon days way back when

Filled with pure happiness

I agree with Cherie, But I can't exactly say "Those Kids" Being one myself. I make the best of Every day whether April, June, March or May. I'm not active, but nor am I a couch potato. I sit out under the willows by the river, and relax and think about the life of all. It is soothing to ponder the existence  of all under god's Infinite grace. I get a little made fun of, But it is a price I am willing to pay for wisdom.

It's Never to Late to run Like the wind, To play as if it was the Bygone days, for youth is a mindset, Not a condition. Have fun. -Dmitri R.
