-1-
Dancing in the rain
Stomping mud puddles – splish, splash
New red galoshes
-2-
Dew on pedals, bugs,
Rainbows, pots of gold, daydreams,
Morphing cloud-shapes seen,
Creepy monsters under beds
Midnight flights on dragon back
-3-
Screams in the pillow
Darkness like a shadow comes
Innocence shattered
-4-
Glitter on my face,
Squishy stuff and glue to eat
Kindergarten times
-5-
Afraid of the dark
Boogie man gonna get me
Mama can’t see him
Crouched in the closet hiding
Waiting for lights out – and me.
-6-
Conquered all with pride
Monkey bars, swings, slide
Playground champion
-7-
School days taught me well
Reading, writing, ‘rithmatic
Knowledge is power
-8-
Remembering Two:
Walking ‘round on tipsy-toes
Parks and Zoos to see
Running bare-butt and carefree
Sand and dirt all over me
-9-
Childhood memories
Wondrous pearls on a string,
Cherish them always
-10-
Sweet angel kisses
On down so light, such sweet dreams
Blessed on you tonight
