Remember Peter Pan

Remember Peter Pan

If we could turn the clock back,
To the years when we were small.
To remember how we used to be,
Before we climbed life’s wall.

Everything was new then,
Each day, new things to learn.
Your body getting stronger,
As each life page you turn.

Christmas’s and birthdays,
The special times you had.
With your brothers and your sisters,
And your lovely mum and dad.

Comics that you used to read,
Favourite games you used to play.
Snuggling down upon your pillow,
To await another day.

Friends you used to play with,
Having pets you loved so much.
Sweets that made your tongue go red,
Feeding rabbits in a hutch.

Dressing up on special days,
Imagining that you were brave.
Robin Hood or Wonder Woman,
You had a world to save.

Life was oh so simple all those years ago,
Until we became…a full grown woman …or a man.
Complete with trials and tribulations, and old age round the bend,
Just remember your childhood days, and believe in Peter Pan.

Not a lot to tell...just an ordinary man...always loved writing but never had the time until now...hope I've got a few years left to write about the million things I would like to get down on paper be it in poetry form or just plain old story telling. Just in case anyone would like me to come along to their group and read a few of my poems live..I would be happy to do so within the confines of Kent or Sussex...I would just need to cover my time and petrol costs...plus a cup of tea and a biscuit. Just email [email protected] To answer some of your questions= ex-army..ex -jackeroo...ex-builder..ex-quite a few other things..still rocking...married...2 + 3 children...7 grandchildren...retired...love custard creams. I have now published my first collection of poems which are now available on Amazon under the title of..LAST APPLE ON THE TREE. The book consists of twenty seven poems covering a wide range of topics and emotions. My second book has just been published and is called A BREEZE IN THE WILLOWS, also available on Amazon. I hope that everyone will get as much enjoyment reading them, as I did writing them.
