Early Memories

In my childhood years

Many memories were made

But what do I remember

Against what I have been told

Climbing trees in the garden

My first time on a plane

Falling in the snow

Those I do remember

A penguin biting my foot

Arriving to my family

Decorating carpets with Jif

Those stories were told to me

I like my childhood memories

They make me smile

At happy times of old
