~~ Childhood ~~ Two pirates on a swing set Serious Pokémon card bet Gazing up at a cloud spotted sky Crossing fingers and toes during a lie Wondrous summer days quickly pass us by Messy hair and magic sleepovers Searching the grassy ground for lucky four-leaf clovers Catching crayfish in a bent flowing creek Discovering something new eight days a week Nervous Christmas Eves Trying to climb big trees Running under falling autumn leaves Velcro sneaker shoes Too young to experience the blues Blowing out all the birthday candles Finally taller then the door handles Sleepy stuffed animal cuddle Small fishing rod over a big puddle Running tiny fingers over Daddy’s new stubble Outback, picking far too many wild blackberries Only source of income was from the invisible Tooth Fairy Cloudless night on the front porch, looking for a shooting star Inside the imagination, no one could travel as far All the answers to life shown on a sunny day Under every stone a new secret would lay No salamander would ever want to stay Treasured moments of short sandbox play The smell before a rain Counting the passing water droplets on the car window—a little game Building forts with friends in the forbidden wood Two player Sega Genesis oh so good Smiling girls and boys Playing with their little toys Cooties were all the rage Starting life’s first beautiful page While getting older life soon became plain Every good heart began to drain No longer do we seek truth—but fame Life was beautiful before the world went insane. “Childhood” By Sunny Lovetts, May, 2009
