Poem
Childhood
From sled riding in the backyard
On a hill so small but took you on a ride
Feeling like you were on a rollercoaster
And rainy days in the spring
With the smell of Tulips in the mist
And making mud pies
From having many dolls and cradling them
Like I was their mother
To the many tantrums I would have
When I just wanted to be heard
From swimming in a cool lake
With my brothers and sisters
As we all splash each other
To getting up at dawn and traveling,
To wonderful places and not coming home
Until the late evening
To our contest of who can catch the first fish
When were on vacation
I will always remember my childhood
As a worry free spirit that still lingers
In my soul
Alexandra Bogus
