A SIMPLE LIFE

Day dream of the time to come

When we spend our days in the golden Sun..

 

Such were the ways

Of our school holidays

When the family drove down

To a hidden place we had found

With a quaint little shack

And a ‘loo’ out the back

 

It was far out of sight of prying eyes

And within an arm’s reach

Of our own private beach

Yes! Those were the days

To cherish always

For as part of the view

A little creek filtered through

Right to the base of a curious old wall

Dividing the shore

While behind, looming tall

Dominating it all

Were those cliff fronted hills

And so if you were looking for thrills

And you reached the very top

Then you could say

You were king for the day…..

At the foot of the scree

Grew the stands of milkweed

Where the butterflies breed

Overlooking the shiny sands

That we would sift through our hands

While looking for shells

Or what     Who could tell?

Then searching for jewels

Through the glistening rock pools

Where so much could hide

On the ebb of low tide

 

And at the end of the day

We would all gather round

With the Sun’s going down

But what were the names

Of those old parlour games?
