Thinking of my childhood

visions come to mind,

remembering,

the flight of stairs

I walk now,

a trip

is all it takes,

to make a child cry,

down 

        down  

                 down

                          down 

                                    I came

rolling like a ball.

Racing on sidewalks is always fun

shouting "FASTER LEGS FASTER!"

to help me run.

Into my life 

to babies did come,

only to frighten 

the new older brother 

Learning to swim like no other did,

I tried and I tried 

to stay afloat 

surprising my father

on dads' special day

Snow angels were made

one snowy thanksgiving

happily laughing

as I lay in the snow

With all good comes bad

one afternoon at pre-k

to grandma's house 

I was to go

I felt sick

After the doctor

home I did go :(

Back to the good

I shall now go 

skipping to 

my bar mitzvah day

becoming a jewish man

celebrating with 

family and friends

off to Israel then I went

as a present from grandma

and grandfather too

Thinking back to all my years

bringing it with tears and cheers.
