Ah, childhood. What wonderful memories I can share.
Like the the time I was five, and got my first teddy bear.
I loved that bear like it was my own.
I kissed her and fed her and loved her as my own.
Like the time I was six,when I got my first bicycle.
When the time Papa brought it home and gave it to me as a gift.
That bicycle soon became one of my daily cycles
Biking to and fro, back and forth through the park.
But alas, these memories are soon to fade away.
Like my bicycle and teddy bear will rust and wilt away.
But every time I close my eyes and count to ten,
these memories I had from the past will soon shine again.
They will shine like the stars in the dark blue sky.
Like pearls from the ocean and the deep blue sea.
These memories I had when I was a child,
will remain forever and ever in my heart.
