CHILDHOOD BLISS

I remember a time not that far in the past,
A time one would only wish to last.
A time filled with laughter,love and peace,
when things all moved in a harmoniuos pace.

I reminisce times spent in the sun on grass;
The innocence adorn with childhood grace.
As agile monkeys we did from tree to tree,
Our spirits did for then fell free.

From cheek to cheek the sun did rise,
Sneaking around like mischievous mice.
The dew of joy that came from the sun,
As fathers call abode their sons.

And around the smoke did find mothers
And daughters,
Around the nests, sounds of thrilled laughter.
not too far, some toiled for bounty,
not far off some harvest in plenty.

In rows and columns they sit to hear,
On floors, yards or grounds with no fear.
The sweet smell of nature's flowers,
Lil mice know it's almost that hour.

Like warning the sounds from the savanna do hear,
Cubs, kids, chicks do seek lear,
The golden glow of the sun doth ray,
Helping all in its shade find way.

In familiar bosoms heads lay to rest,
Each and everyone feeling at their best.
In a land where fantasies are but no dreams,
And reality none but a far off gleam.

Times like these I wish I were back,
But my troubles all do stack.
Like lights years I wish I would but beam,
To solace, a hermit with no dreams.

But I know that my day will come,
When my life will be free from this eucalyptus gum.
Back to the days of childhood innocence,
When all will be pure and innocent.
