When I Was Little

i had a rake

When i was little

i had this rake

it was strange 

to have a rake

when i was little

nonetheless though

it was mine

none could take it 

or I'd cry

that rake of mine

I ran around

the yard an patio

raking leaves and 

even playing swords

with that rake of mine

It was my favorite

my most prized toy 

when i was little 

it was mine

my RED rake

Author's Note

True story, I brought it everywhere with me

Hey, for some kids it's a blanket, and for others it's a rake. I can't remember if I had anything, not even an imaginary friend. But there's hope, I saw Peter Pan when I was little and never did grow up.

Hahah that's so cute! I use to have a plastic lawnmower until my mom tossed it out. She gave me a barbie doll instead.

I can see little you with your red rake. This is adorable, but not in a cutesy way. Well done.
