When I was a child

some of my Memories written May 9 2014 Lets explore and be a child again I am a child at heart open up your imaginations.

When I was little all

my imaginations came to life.

We built forts of blankets  and

imagined what ever

we wanted it to be.

Story books of where the

wild things are books

of Disney Winnie the

pooh bear.

Momma you  read

stories of magical Knights

and brought it to life you filled

my childhood with joy.

You made the funny

voices to the characters

in the story books.

Dancing through the

wet grass that tickled  my

toes and made me giggle.

Swinging on the tire

swing in my back yard.

When I was a child I had

beautiful blessings from

God he's filled my life with,

Laughter, tears  joy and

even pains I've  healed from.

Playing in the mud

with my big  brother

making a mud home  for

the frogs in our back yard.

Bottoms of my feet  were

black as the blacktops.

Just playing in the rain

and jumping in the muddy

puddles Mommy didn't  get mad.

That reminds me my school days in just other ways... I was a pain to my teachers and the only story listener to my grandma...
But this selfish time took away all the blessings of childhood and fossilized as a memory in my mind.. Its alright. Life goes on... :)
Nice write once again. Blessings and wishes.

well we all have bad and good parts of childhood but it is good to remember the good memories I remember the bad ones too but it matured me and I learned from them I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't have bad or tough times in life don't allow the pain or Mistakes to Define you just learn from them :) that's what life is about and always good to have a loving Elder Adult someone we trust in our lives that will be there for us it always helps . I am glad you liked it they were fun times even though life had some pains I remember them well I enjoyed them, I hated wearing shoes so I road my bike barefoot at times and bottoms of my feet were black they were fun times I loved it. thank you for your lovely review and comment. I really appreciate it. Blessings. Benita/ kindred poet

I love this poem. I miss when I used to be younger and everything was simple. All that mattered was seeing your friends and watching your favorite tv show. When you still were read to before you went to bed. Beautiful write!

inspires my own memories .. it never took much to spark adventure as a child .. thank for reminding me to keep that fire going ;)
in "We built blankets of forts and" did you mean to say made forts from blankets??

i was not referring to changing the word built; but to the phrase "Built blankets of forts" i think you mean to say Built forts of blankets ;)

It is a wonderful poem my friend. It reminded me of my own childhood. They were the days of heaven.
