I love to watch the children play.

Children playing outside in the snow

Having the best time of their lives

I watch them running around

Laughing at their silly antics

Dreaming of days long gone by

Remembering my lost childhood

Enjoying watching the children play

Never wanting this moment to end

 

Pleasant memories have returned

Lingering deep within my mind

Angel figures made in the snow

Youngsters building large snowmen

I miss the days of my youth

Needing to recall that joyful time

Great fun I surely had back then

 

Outside the children continue to play

Unaffected by the freezing weather

Throwing snowballs at each other

Skating on the frozen pond

I watch with a smile on my face

Delighting in their carefree ways

Enjoying this special Winter day

    I really like this. I woke up to the snow last week, feeling miserable and worrying about getting the shopping etc, then I watched the expression on my 11 month old’s face as he watched the snow for the first time, it made me wish I was a baby or child again just to find pleasure in little things again. A really great poem!!

    a very good write! I agree, I love watching the little ones play too, and I must admit, there have been times when I wished I was young again! :)
