WORDS OF THE LIVING

(CHILDHOOD)

Tire swing
Rubber bands
Fields filled with unmade plans

Rose bush thorns
Captains yearning
Innocent children sat there learning

Robins, friends, dandelions
Warm palms, seas of blues and greens
Sweet berries, reds and blacks
Watch faces,t-shirts, ripped jeans

These are the things, a child treasures
A person stuck in the past
Spaceships, tanks, ships with masts
These are the things a child treasures
