Out Today..

See the kids as they race on past,
On bikes and scooters they go so fast,
Always in groups, never alone,
Sticking to curfews so their parents don't moan,
Trees to climb and games to play,
Come rain or shine they are out today,
Laughing and singing,
No mobile phones ringing,
Making up games,
And funny nicknames,
Making new friends,
Secret messages to send,
Cuts and bruises,
No winners or losers,
Cards to swap,
This time meant a lot,
As they race by so fast,
Those memories from the past..
