The Days Of My Childhood

The days of my childhood last forever

Days I can ponder on the rest of my life

Of memories sweet that are hard to beat

Of brothers and sisters that are now far

A thought that dwells and comes alive

When I sit and dream of days gone bye



The days of my childhood so full of joy

Memories that come once more to the fore

Thoughts of laughter and games we played

A togetherness we shared a tie unbroken

A bond that so strong   can never be lost

As we travel this land both near and far



The days of my childhood live with me still

As I look back and think of the things we did

Often apart but always together in our heart

Memories of christmas and of easter sermons

Girls in pretty dresses and boys in smart suits

Of snow and of rain and bright sunny days



The days of my childhood will never depart

My brothers and sisters all close to my heart

Nothing can seperate us from each other

No Ocean, Land or person come what may

The bond that is between us can ne'er stray

For Blood is the tie that draws us together



The days of my childhood are days supreme

Where with brothers and sisters I dare dream

A closeness attained as days they did wain

For when one was needed the other came

A brother to fight the battles for you

A sister to cry with who was so true

A wonderful feel-good poem, with charming snapshots of your childhood. I especially love the first line repetition.
