The Yard

The Yard  By 'Home is where the heart is' 10/19/17 ©SBDS2017All Rights Reserved Photo Credit: ©SBDS2017All Rights Reserved 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     "Memories of a childhood that we loved. What a wonderful place to be"~ 'Home is where the heart is' ~   "Time has a way of slipping by but the Echoes of the past linger in the distance." unknown
