But come back as an adult till we’re done.

Down grassy banks we rolled  for joy and fun
Like children playing out   in freer times
Then back to being adults we would come

We wrote each other letters filled with puns.
We wrote the letters often, with good rhymes.
Down grassy banks we rolled  for joy and fun

The bills and the housekeeping we would shun
Though now and then we’d wash away the grime
So back to being adults we would come

He fed a  robin daily and it ran
Inside the house when he had passed his time
Those grassy banks ,oh, happiness and fun

When  he grew older and his time was gone
I sat nearby and struggled with my  poems
I had to be an adult by design

Don’t count the cost nor allocate the blame.
Don’t feel  the guilt neither   the heat of shame
Down grassy banks enjoy   the ancient fun
But  come back as an adult  till we’re done.
