Sitting on an arm chair still
Watching the beautiful setting sun
Unmindful of the winter chill
I tried something in my mind for fun
A few words came drifting in
Playing with memories of boy hood days
And my lips opened with a grin
To sing the song of carefree ways
Ways that a bare foot boy did roam
Behind butterflies of every hue
Standing on the beach to watch the foam
And every moment was worth its due
What wonderful days were they
Each worth their weight in gold
And as I now see the trees in sway
I do not regret the part of getting old.........
What lovely memories to share, you tell it with such grace...what a beautiful write here my friend. Annette
