This is a game that requires two or more lines of poetry (totally up to you) describing a memory from the age of 6 up to 12...childhood fantasies, games you used to play, whatever you come up with.

Here is mine:


Do you remember when you were eight
and thought of all things, small and great?
You'd sit yourself down in the sand
and pretend to direct your very own band.

I'd dress my dolls up and sit on my bed
As the queen with the fanciest crown on my head!
And order my subjects, one and all
To attend my very own Cinderella ball

ENJOY!!

When I was a Child

What I remember from things I had done,
I Jumped in the creek and had lots of fun.
I ran and played with all of my friends,
Pals for a lifetime no matter who wins.

Walking to school together a pair,
Each moment of pleasure that both of us shared.
No worries we had to think about then,
No bills to be paid cause we were just ten.

The pleasures of life the laughs and the fun,
The feeling of joy we got when we'd run.
Jumping the rope or swinging so high,
It seemed I could touch the clouds floating by.

But back down the road are my childhood days,
And outside the window my little child plays.
The games with her friends so wild and fun,
Brings back and reminds me of things I had done.


Blessed be
