Hopscotch <br />In a train going back home <br />A thousand scenes hurtling back <br />Those smug village lanes <br />So much missed <br />My doggie, Childhood <br />Friends and the hopscotch game <br />Those tiny legs <br />Tottering and <br />Picking up stone <br />From hastily drawn squares <br />Three hearts and six squares <br />Our childhood cheers! <br />Time stole the scenes <br />Yet they live on <br />Yes, at the back of our mind <br />Three hearts, three stones <br />And six drawn squares!<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hopscotch/
