Simple Games
Long ago when we was young, it all seemed easier to have close friends and fun.
Back long ago when we could be blithe happy and gay. When gay meant bright and happy and wicked was bad and not good back in the day.
I know nothing was really better but time has waved a magic wand over my memory. It has white washed the pains of my early childhood and hidden some truths from me.
Lets stay with the manipulated memories just for now. The blue skies , the endless summer days when we ran free on our summer holidays. The wonders of nature plants and animals, home when we were hungry I remember more “cans” from then than “cants”.
Then the memories become clear first days at school, where I learnt the world and children are cruel.
Happiest days Of my life ?
Yes I learnt the meaning of unhappiness, it was my first lessen at school. I have told you all of this before so you need not listen to it any more. It did not last for ever, though at the time it felt like I was an outcast to be be accepted NEVER.
Yet time did move on and my first love came and went with all it wonders and joys heaven bent. Then the grief of a broken heart hiding in my room thinking my life was finished. This was it for always, gloom.
Another lessen in time, this too does not last for ever, though healed it is never forgot. The few friends gleaned over the years comforted me and I soon moved on, another lad and exams time to swat!
School ended and suddenly I was thrown in at the deep end woo! New skills, new friends new tormentors to tease me too. They were never unkind though, and helped me flourish and blossom they taught me a lot of what I know.
window dressing
Happy days and I had already met my man so when we got married we invited the whole works gang.
Changes ever present,my life was always in flux as soon as I was pregnant we were on the move. It was hubby’s job he made the bigger bucks.
Back long ago when we was young the babies came and we had passed on our name. Back long ago when we was young, time has got the brush out and I see picnic on the beach blue skies and sun! Back long ago it was all fun?
Sun, Sea and Sand
Was it all fun, well maybe not but we were young. We had hardly any money but we kept away from debt we only had that which we could truly afford to get.
Back long ago when we was young, what would I change if I was there back long ago. There are things I would run from and things I would change but who’s to know what good any changes would of done. Sitting here thinking I know I’d not change anything that would deny me my beloved sons .
I suppose, looking back from now the answer would be no! When we was young.Back long ago There’s plenty more in these memories of mine, but it’s already said or for another time.Looking back when we was young. Back long ago.
