The Black House A Childhood Memory In the black house where memories reside, Middle childhood days of carefree delight, Warm sunbeams upon sweet shrubs at our side, A haven where no worries in sight. Laughter echoes in the summer air, Our innocence and joy intertwined, Down where the sweet shrub blooms so fair In the heart of youth, pure and refined. Oh, how I long for those days gone by, When time moved slowly, and troubles were few, Golden hours spent under unspoiled blue sky, In that sacred place where dreams could come true. So let us cherish those memories dear, Of the black house, where love was near.

How our memories of childhood grow fonder and fonder with the passage of time! (Not that we've aged one whit, of course!) Sunshine and flowers, Gershon

I'm a sucker for nostalgic poems and found this one a delight to read and absorb. I especially liked these lines: Oh, how I long for those days gone by, When time moved slowly, and troubles were few, Golden hours spent under unspoiled blue sky, In that sacred place where dreams could come true. Have a great evening, Sara K! hugs, Sara B

Thank you, Sara B, for sharing which lines you liked the most. I appreciate the visit and kind review. I was remembering a time when my nephew/cousin and I would play in the woods to the side and behind the unpainted house, which I as a child called black. Sara K
