On monkey bars and metal slides
Spinning wheels, turning round so fast
Both climbing trees and flying kites
Building memories meant to last

NOTE: I’d like to thank my close friend and collaborator-in-arms, the lovely and talented Penny Granger, for her contributions with this poem.
Lovely poetic memories of childhood, Amore mio, … as co-contributor I can’t praise it highly enough, 😉… è sempre un piacere lavorare con te, tesoro mio, …PS❤️
It was a joy sharing your company, as well, amore mio, shaping memories into poetry, my pen is in your hand as we write together. La tua presenza è sempre un piacere, mio dolce amore… PS❤️
La tua penna è al sicuro nelle mie mani, tesoro mio, …PS❤️
