PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Snowball fights and sled rides,

King of the mountain on snowbanks,

Old memories of winter fun,

I look back on now with grateful thanks.

Baseball in an open field,

Tag in the summer sun,

Hide n' seek and other games,

Everything that I called fun.

No longer do I pretend,

For real life has taken over,

No more times for childish dreams,

No hunting for a four leaf clover.

I ponder the past now,

Looking back with older eyes,

Wondering what happened,

What happens when the child dies.
