WHEN I WAS YOUNG.

Folder: 
Memories of Youth



When I was young……….

We’d holiday at the seaside.

Where I’d climb the rocks,

Catch fish from the piers.

Swim in the deep blue sea.

From off sandy shores.



Though now I’m old……

We still holiday at the seaside.

I now watch my children climbing the rocks,

Though the pier’s long gone now, as are the fish.

We dare not swim in the murky brown sea,

That crashes on to a pebbly shore.



What will there be for my children’s children?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just a thought as I looked at the changing colour of the sea off the south coast of England.
It saddened me that we just don't appreciate enough this planet we live on.
