Childhood

Heart innocent, joyful and playful, making memories, Taking first baby steps and learning to talk Lots of cuddles and kisses with parents protecting love. Toilet-trained and breastfed, taken out in a pram First day at nursery school fearful without mum Making new friends and taught to read and write Excitement of birthday parties and believing in Santa With sixpence under pillow from the tooth fairy. Enjoying swings, slides and roundabouts in the park Thrill of summer picnics, seaside trips, adventures Christmases sublime with presents and festive treats, Family seated at dinner table lots of smiles and laughter Granddad kissing giggling grandma under mistletoe. Exploring with childhood friends, climbing trees, cycling, Football, cricket, fishing, and swimming in rivers.
