Part Of Me...My Poetry

Memories

Life more precious than we realize
Yet some of us can only idealize
Enjoying only what money can buy
Material things are in constant supply

Envisioning long ago days of past
Playing outside hoping sunlight will last
Dinner at a table and we can all talk
About how the day went and an evening walk

Sitting on a porch with ice cream on a stick
From the ice cream man as parents let us pick
Catching fireflies and letting them go
After showing our hands aglow

Fast forwarding to children of today
Don't know what's missed by staying in to play
Adventures they will never share
Or even experiencing a double dog dare

As I age those memories appear
If only in my mind as I hold them dear
The next generation will tell their own
To those that follow about how they've grown
