Childhood Memories

Childhood Memories
Dr Abe V Rotor

Ambiance of Autumn in summer in the Philippines in acrylic 
by the author c 2002

Childhood is when nobody misses
     The morning before the sun rises,
Before the herons stake for fish,
     And finches chirp in the trees.

War is fought with kites and fishing poles,
     In hide-and-seek and barefoot races;
Faith grows with seasons the sky extols,
     Virtues all that friendship embraces.

Summer is short, rainy days are long,
     All these are but passing imagery,
For the young can’t wait, yet all along
     The years, remains a lasting memory. ~
