I remember my childhood with great
fondness
The only worry was the monster under
my bed
And the thump thump thump of the trees knocking on my window wanting to get in
But in the daylight
I traveled to the ancient tree that had a
swing tied to its top branches
Riding it so high the experience was
like flying
The helicopter was a personal favorite
By the time I got down I was very dizzy
What annoyed me the most was that my
hair always got frizzy
One of my favorite activities though, was
Building my castle with me as the queen
Anyone was allowed, except of course for boys, adults, and teens
Now although I was a queen, I was also
an explorer
My back yard was a large, animal-infested jungle
Nowadays though I spend my days at
school then home and back
But at night I dream of flying the way I did
Way back then
