Poem in Response to ~Thursday Poets Rally Week 54~Oct 20-26-2011~We Used To...

We used to play and sing and
Watch and share 'most everything,

We used to taste sweet lemon drops

hunt  treasures  with  sorted props;

We used to play hide and seek

behind  the bushes and  the trees;

We used to sit on the walls and  talk

and play hop scotch drawn with chalk;

We used to build castles in the sand

and act like pirates with the one eyed band;

We used to read stories of wonderland

and sing and dance in our little fairland
We used to look at the far off stars

 unaware of  the terrifying wars;

       We used to find love and care

        peace and happiness everywhere 
        We used to …but wait…

        I will tell  you more, if it is not too late.
