Question: A poem we can all relate to!.!.!.childhood memories!. did I get it right!.!?
"life as a child"
I fade away like glistening dew,
Underneath the morning sun,
Days of childhood gleaming
Do you still remember then!.
Nowhere near there have I been,
Like apparitions disappeared,
All of those friends are never more!.
I still remember summers past,
The trap door where we'd hide and laugh,
Sliding up and down and back again!.
Long ago and long since gone,
Stark and slightly dirty songs!.
I can smell the scent of falling rain,
We all wait for the day we're finally free!.
Now it seems all things have changed,
I never really wanted to stay,
All those recurring memories abound!.
I can't even remember names,
All of it just seems in vain,
No one was around me left to see!.
Somehow it seems just like yesterday!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That "trap door" reference is now haunting me!.!.!. it goes along with this song from childhood (that plays in such an out of tune, distorted way inside my head):
Playmate, come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Look down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forevermore
i feel kind of silly but it is making me cry and i don't even know whyWww@QuestionHome@Com
When you have had a good childhood - The Shadows of Our Past brings joy and comfort!. Even when names are not remembered - the good memory still remains!. Yeah - good Poem!. Don't know why I seem to want to "translate" - it is just putting your visual into my words!. Please excuse LOL!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
The way I handle yesterday Is to say,"yesterday Is gone and
buried and nobody but me can see It!." And since I`m the only
one that controls my mind I can replace the bad memories
with good ones!. Good work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
