The Yard

The day is winding down
It is quiet now
Gazing at the long shadows
Stretching across the yard
As evening approaches
Memories traverse through my mind
Of times past
Weekends spent with grandparents
Cousins, aunts and uncles
Football and baseball games
Foot races, blind man bluff
Jumping rope, Red rover,
Pony cart and horse riding
Laying on the cool green clover
Watching the clouds float by
Building snowman, and making snow angels
Sitting under the shade trees
Visiting with family and friends
Children's laughter filling the air
Several generations have
Enjoyed this yard
Although time moves on
Children of the past are now grown
With grandchildren of their own
This family still full of cousins, uncles and aunts
Another generation will have
Many memories of their own
Activities on this earthly carpet
