We Were Kids

Running through the mist

Swimming in the river

Laughing at the cold

Making us shiver

Cycling downhill

Wind in our face

No sign of fear

Not a trace

Climbing the trees

Just to look down

Lying in grass

Listening to sounds

Watching planes in the sky

As vapour trails disappear

Wonder if anyone

Wishes they were here

Sitting by the railway

Waiting for a train

Wave to the driver

In the rain

Summer holidays

Was a firework display

Of imagination you couldn’t buy

Time was a place

That taught us how to fly
