A Distant Memory

We gazed upon the daisies Beneath the summer sky, Relishing the moment As butterflies danced by. A moment of my childhood That seems so long ago, But yes i still remember, Those places we did roam. Upon the valley mountain We'd look to yonder far, In the days of mines and coal, Not many owned a car. The village streets then bustling The sounds of laughter heard, For children shared the sunshine, Together, as free as a bird. Oh how i wish to go back, To those long lost days, The memory's in my heart and soul, Forever there to stay. Jayne Louise Davies
