The summer days of watching the ants crawl up the hill have passed

The summer days of running around in church have passed

The summer days of endless road trips have passed

The summer days of the beach and ripe (or unripe) watermelon have passed

The summer days have passed and ended

My childhood is no more.

The winter days of playing in the snow in a schoolyard have passed

The winter days of reading for hours and letting my imagination loose have passed

The winter days of endless Christmas decorations have passed

The winter days of renting DVD Christmas movies from Netflix have passed

The winter days have passed and ended

My childhood is no more.

Adulthood

The adult of life has come to take me away

Turn away from childhood and leave them in the good old days

Oh how I’ll miss those days

Endless with memories soon to be forgotten in the years to come

The pure joy of a child, left in the summer days

The innocent laughter of a child, left in the winter days

My childhood is no more.
