Sentimental Journey

As we grow older we often dream way back
to our childhood days.
Remembering all the happy times filled
with childhood fun. Our loving parents
our sisters or our brothers.
In my childhood it was my sister Trish.
The hobbies we shared...the dancing
both tap and ballet!
The endless practising at home.
The hours our mother spent making costumes.
The pride on Mum and Dad's faces as we
performed on stage.
Such happy family days!

As we grow older we often dream way back
to our childhood days.
Remembering the family fun at Christmas time.
And the Christmas Eve the chimney caught alight.
Trish and I really believed Father Christmas had
arrived in a fire engine!
We jumped into bed and shut our eyes tight
fearing if we were not asleep
Father Christmas would pass us by.
Such happy family days!

As we grow older we often dream way back
to our childhood days.
Remembering the cold crisp mornings of winter.
Dad singing "I'm a Little Prairie Flower" as he
lovingly cooked our porridge!
The warm cosy family evenings around the fire
drinking mugs of hot chocolate as we all
listened to the radio.
Remembering the end of day precious moments.
Mum or Dad reading us a bedtime story
as they lovingly tucked us up in bed...
with a God Bless and a kiss goodnight.
Such happy family days!

As we grow older we often dream way back
to our chilhood days.
Remembering the long hot..happy summers.
The sunday family outings to the sea.
On bicycles of course!
The splashing in the sea...the sandcastles.
The picnics on the sand...sandwiches and lemonade.
The laughter and the fun as we cycled home
eating the end of day treat...ice cream.
Such happy family days!

As we grow older we often dream way back
to our childhood days.
And we say thank you Mum and Dad for
such happy childhood memories.
Trish and I had such fun together as we
grew from little children to adults...
and we will never ever forget
Our happy family days!
