I remember my childhood <br />Whenever I am in the mood <br /> <br />I remember my childhood <br />With the bad and the good <br />I remember my childhood <br />With the variety of available junk food <br /> <br />Funny, the old want to be young <br />While kids endeavour to be old and strong <br />Girls wanted to grow up fast as women <br />Boys wanted to grow up fast as men <br />Before they could walk right or learn <br /> <br />Those were good times <br />With very little crime <br />We had fun with little a dime <br />How is that for a rhyme? <br /> <br />Mum would call us for biscuits and cakes <br />While we played games and learnt from mistakes <br />We all went anxiously to school <br />To see what best pranks any of us could pull <br /> <br />I remember my childhood <br />I was always polite and not rude <br /> <br />I remember my childhood <br />If I could then you should <br /> <br />We as kids all had dreams <br />Which we shared as a team <br />We all loved to rock but hated homework <br />I mean what was the point of so much paperwork <br /> <br />And what is really bizarre <br />Is that I was always after <br />The bedtime stories from Mama and Papa <br />I also enjoyed the view of the nightly stars from afar <br />Same way I loved presents at Christmas and Easter <br /> <br />Mama always used to say <br />A gift no matter how little will lift anyone's spirit any day <br /> <br />I remember my childhood <br />And the adventures in the woods <br /> <br />I remember my childhood <br />With all the includes and excludes <br /> <br />I remember my childhood <br />And till today there are still things I've never understood <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi <br /> <br />www.sylviachidi.co.uk<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-remember-my-childhood/
