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

Lovely! All those little moments captured forever like a photograph, and the names we never forget and wonder about. Loved this thanks Tate.

p.s. loved your tribute to David Lewis Paget, and totally agree.

This is so true. I have fond memories of when I was a kid. Some are not so good memories, but others are.

So true your words bring to my mind my own experiences and the photo makes me smile with the playful memories of the simple days when running through the sprinkler and trying to catch poly wogs were the most important thing ever lol.. xx

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

[Jazique]

I like that " We start nights as we ended with the dreams from yesterday." It really remines you of the days of our childhood that must try to hold on to as slip into life. So in my own words i must say Bravo! to your work of a childhood.(Nights)
