Childs' Play

Submerged in Lifes' depth and bereft of shore ,
flashbacks of simple days before :

skipping ropes and bare scraped knees ,

chasing butterflies and avoiding bees

Muddy ponds a playground lush

endless sun no sense of rush :

hopscotch marked out with a shard of stone

too much fun to feel alone.

Freckle faced boys flew kites so high ,

pig tailed girls nursed dolls that could cry :

the finest tea parties in grown up clothes,

a passing bread van with scent of fresh loaves

A whistling milkman smiled at their fun ,

jokingly attempting to steal a bun :

rumbustious lads tumbled down hills ,

whilst giggling girls watched their thrills.

Espied behind an old Oak tree ,

two lovers hoping no-one could see :

scent of mowed grass and chirping crickets ,

picking brambled berries in thorny thickets

Berry stains on clothes once clean

a rainbow effect with streaks grass green :

a test it would be to the laundering skills of mums ,

as girls made their first daisy chains all fingers and thumbs.

Dads talked sport and the news of the day

mums they baked cakes as was the way :

never wanting the days to end ,

kids in a magical world of pretend.

senses take me back to joy filled play ,

a smile that widens for Life that way :

a grown up now I have to be ,

a role I dont fit easily.
