Bring Back The Days
~Tamara Hillman~
Bring back the days
With play an' laughter,
no worry or strife.
Let me Swing so high
In the old apple tree,
Like monkeys in a jungle
screaming with glee.
I want to chase chickens
Back into their pen,
An' ride the young heifers
'Cross the land again.
Run in the sunshine,
Play in the field,
Hide in the sweet corn,
Eat Apples, unpeeled.
Rope-swing into haylofts,
Ride horses on roads,
Wade Ponds by the dozen
Searching out toads.....
Those were the days!
Indeed, dear 🧡 friend. Those were the days. Lovely post, beautiful photo and illustration. Thanks so much, Denise.
ReplyDeleteSigh... Of course for my brother and me it would be climbing mango trees and running through the sugar cane fields of Oahu.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is wonderful, Denise, full of quotes. I remember in my master's degree, in the poem writing exercises, they showed us quotes to incorporate into our own poem!!
