Front Lawn Children

daisiesnfld: Front Lawn Children
.
Play little children on the grass
And worry not about the lawn
For way too soon youth will pass
The grass is here when you're gone
.
Build your castles in the sand
That I'd reserved for other things
For I'd much rather enjoy fantasy
Than that which planting ever brings
.
Make the joyful sound of laughter
So that it may thrill my heart
And let me watch as you hop skotch
So that I might be a part
.
Of all the happy, joyful days
Childhood summer time can be
To keep a precious picture
Of carefree children in memory
.
Sing all your little nursery rhymes
At the very top of your voice
And I'll sit down and take the time
To just listen and rejoice
.
For you're yet children growing up
God's greatest gift on my front lawn
To watch you play and hear you sing
He's planted you where you belong
.

WineNSarcasm: I like this Daisies ! A vivid picture of "what used to be". I don't see kids outside playing hopscotch any more; or playing tag; or cowboys and indians, etc...One of my greatest joys was hearing children from afar playing outside. I can't believe this is a "thing of the past" now
