    Childhood Treasures
    Awash in a dream filled sleep content
    I wandered streets of childhood spent
    Playing games with ball and jacks
    Exploring woods and railroad tracks
    Cops and robbers; you've been caught
    Penny candy could be bought
    Slay the dragons; do be brave
    Shirley Temple's curly wave
    Hop Scotch drawn on streets with chalk
    Find some water; skip a rock
    Neighbor friends who'd play all day
    Now all grown; they've gone away.
