Memories of the Pond

Maybe me, Sis, and Brother will go
To the creek and spend a day
Chasing after crawdads, or on
The pondbank's slippery clay.
They say I can't go home again
But maybe "they" don't know
If I close my eyes and drift
Just where my memories let me go.

Sister Aday

1991

I'm very fond of the odd poem or two, I have a collection I keep for my pictures now.
Thank you for sharing this one.

You really need to take some pictures of your own and stop stealing pictures and poems.

I don't care who said it or took the picture, I still like it. How sweet those memories are!

It seems that I reflect back on my childhood more and more as I age. One of these days I'll get stuck there. Thank goodness I had a happy one.

Sister Aday knows that when you grow up with all the sisters sharing one small bedroom...what yours is mine and what's mine is yours! teehee

Sister Aday and I both love and write poetry. I think hers is much better than mine. She wrote the "go home again" poem the day our mother died in 1991. The verse I have posted is only part of the lovely memory!
