  As I cleared out an old cupboard today Memories appeared from every nook and cranny My old Red Peddle Car I had when I was six Which was given to me by my old Nannie Was still in working order with all its parts Memories came flooding back Many an hour was spent playing and riding about Together with my best young friend Jack My old Teddy Bear Wilfred was still in good condition Together we had spent many a happy hours of wear and tear And my old football boots were still there as well Along with the Shirt and Shorts I used to wear Childhood Memories came flooding back Which brought a tear to my eye Of wondrous days spent playing with my old friends On days long since having passed me by An old school Satchel was still intact Though now empty and a bit worse for wear Which brought memories flooding back Of my schooldays and my best mates there Now it looked like me all battered and worn I remember I was five years or six old And my clothes were tattered and torn Life was harder then, than it is now You made do with what you had It was stitch and mend when it was needed Always repaired by Mum or Dad My cupboard hand many more secrets to reveal I spent all day with my memories My old collie dog Caliban’s collar was still there Many a hour we spent together walking Somehow we managed to communicate He would bark with me just talking Childhood memories last forever, never forget that fact It’s what keeps us going throughout many a day They supposedly say you should never look back But who cares what other people say
