Childhood
When time was time
to never stop
to fill our minds
with what we forgot
To bring the pictures
into our head
of the time
before the lay of bed
The time of timelessness
of the never still
When the watchers
sat near
of the window sill
and the youthlings
jumped, flipped and would holler
I won't go to bed
until you slip in a dollar
The watchers would stubborn
and keep up their hopes
the youthling would not fulfill
the unethical jokes
The youthling less yeared
though would not stumble
to the watchers horror
he kept on the rumble
The watch had no choice
but to give up this war
for he was weak
the work of day
making him sore
They lead to bed
to slowly refresh
what the work of day
left in their head
The youthling slipping
losing his grip,
falling to the unknown
to make a new trips
The watcher watching
watching the sight
sighed a great heave
of pure delight
The time before bed
when the lay of head
was so far away
a very small dread
The time of timelessness
when any thing was possible
all you had to do
was lay down your head
and dream of the impossible
