Evening Romp-Ravin Ink prompt

To be young again....

Summer nights we'd steal away, 

out the house out to play, 

down the road along Wilshire St.

Running romping stamping our feet, 

till to the park in joy arrived. 

These evenings where we felt alive, 

imagination our only guide, 

to the top and down the slide. 

The world to us belonged alone, 

with friends so dear then back to home.

Stay young in your mind....

Ah, I remember those days well and used to take great joy from jumping in puddles, as well as trying to turn my stomach inside out on the swings, but these days I csn only imagine them instead and think back to hoe simple life can be as a kid and it is only the seriousness of society that insists we grow up and get all serious, like there is any actual physical evidence that that I'd the way we should go.
Be young, be silly and never mind those pesky, frumpy grown ups.
Sure you'll get bumps and bruises, but when was the last time you saw a kid explode from filling their mouth with too much sherbert and then trying to do a loop-de-loop on the swings!
Child safety is so overrated. Go on, love a little while you still can! 😃
