My childhood has faded away <br />In those days I had no bills to pay. <br />I close my eyes and remember those days. <br /> <br />Childhood dreams filled with love, <br />Hide and seek, my baseball glove, <br />No heavy chains, <br />Warm summer rains. <br /> <br />Fiery dragons, flying high in the sky, <br />Pirate ships, Captain Bligh. <br />Munching sweet apples, <br />Candy peppermint, <br />Rosy red cheeks, <br />Innocense. <br /> <br />Long ago, not by chance, <br />Under my bed, monsters danced. <br />Through the years a backward glance, <br />Wishing I had my bell bottom pants. <br /> <br />Eyes so bright, <br />Flying a kite, <br />Birds singing cheeful songs. <br />Quiet days, star filled nights, <br />Winter snow, on frozen lawns. <br /> <br />I wish that I was back today, <br />But I've put that life far away, <br />My childhood moments that I recall, <br />Childhood years, were the best of all.<br /><br />Philip Lore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-childhood-faded-away/
