Can You Remember?

A Memory of Burghfield Common.

How many Christmases can you recall,
Can you go right back to when you were small,
Can you remember a blanket of Snow,
That covered the ground, or don't you know.

Can you remember when Teens were once Tots,
And Hopscotch was played on Black and White Spots,
Can you remember the School bell being rung,
Can you go right back to when you were young.

Can you remember Bluebells in Spring,
Buttercup, Daisies, Dewdrops that Sing,
And what of the Fairy Tales that rocked you to sleep,
All Precious Memories of Childhood we keep.

Scented Flowers and Honeysuckle Towers,
Festive Sights and Christmas Tree Lights,
A Pocket full of Posies, a bed of Crimson Roses,
Can you remember, can you recall.

Written by Andrew P Cooper in 1980
