The Life of Jack Robinson

The Life and Works from Jack

Childs Play

As I listen to the children laugh and play,
I sometimes think back to the day,
When I too was young and carefree.
When you are a child, that is the way it should be.

All the problems belong to the parents, not them.
Children can change their wants on a whim.
The fields, creeks and woods were there.
We played games with neighbors, without a care.

The children playing outside my Door,
now have bikes, skateboards and more.
Still many of their games are the same.
Some, I wonder if they have name.

I still hear them counting for hide and seek.
As they run someone will yell don’t peek.
Things change but they stay the same.
It may differ but it is still a game.
