Time of innocence, time of cheerfulness.
Bruises on knees, mom's endless scolds.
Mundane school routine, fake sick excuses.
Playing marbles in the dirt, skipping rope with neighborhood kids.
Early morning Sunday school,rushing home for favorite TV shows.
Holiday at Grandma's, a walk through the fields.
Grandpa's midnight stories, first-hand fishing lessons.
Waiting for Christmas seems endless, familiar Christmas songs in every houses.
Childhood has ended, memories linger on.
