When I Was A Child Poem by JOHN THE GIFTED HANDS

When I Was A Child

Rating: 4.3


When I was a child
and had no shame
and no worries
We would sit by the moonlight
On bare ground
and tease ourselves a story

And I had no fear
If the tangled night will crash
Even when hate runs in front
bitting and clawing to have his will
still we ate as one big family

And we would make a house
and build castles on the sand
and lay them straight on the narrow bridge

With chatter and laughter
We would run here and there happily
boys to boys girls to girls
When the rain is here!

p2 could have but time got in the way. There is a need to value remember childhood memories; to write a little more beauty into the world; use you mind memory and write a few more.
