A far away land full of glee
Are childhood memories made for me
Softly fallen snow upon a farm hill
Where tulips in Spring made time stand still
Meandering up the stairs
in the attic to snoop
Gathering eggs from the chicken coop
Brother's fireball candy a wonderful smell
Christmas round the fire I felt swell!
Apple and orange peels strung on the ground
While the rabbits swiftly gathered
to make their rounds
Rhubarb picking at the right time of year
Mom's wedding a time of cheer
Now all grown up in a far away place
A family of my own now takes place
Life's got away of making calamities
None can touch my childhood memories
