PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Spent all day in the sun

All I needed was good company

and I was sure to have fun

We would ride our bikes for hours

Climbing trees  only feet off the ground 

felt like being on top of towers

Summer nights we flew with the breeze

With laughter following close behind

As we chased and leaped to see how many lightning bugs we'd seize

We would make our own fun

And play all day outside

We had no clock so we did as we pleased till the absence of the sun

It was a time I will never forget

For as I grow older those simple things

Are the pure joys I so dearly miss

I use to think getting older Would bring lots of freedom

I see now that I have never felt more free

Than when I was a kid being goofy little ME
