Childhood Nights

How sweet our former lives.

Me on the left Tony in the middle and Kerny on the right

 

 

 

In dreams of my sweet former life

 with the wonders childhood poses

I find those friends I left behind

still so young and fresh like roses

I wonder if to them I'm old

when they think upon occasion

Do they wonder as, I do

of that inner child's persuasion

To me they are the cherished ones

memories of lost summer nights

When we played hide and seek till dark

enriched by all life's smells and sights

In dreams they live on as before

echoes of games we use to play

I start each night as they ended

with the dreams from yesterday

[Poetic Beauty]

I love this poem. The flow is great as usual. The topic is a fun and thoughtful one. It is always nice to think of friends from our younger days. Running and playing hide and seek or playing tag are wonderful memories that I have myself. I am lucky for I have many friends in my life who were childhood friends.
