along the street
hanged by the wall
these NUMBERS<\/strong>
as if to shout,  \u201chome\u201d.   
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the tall, big GATE<\/strong>
that opened and closed
singing each day
\u201chello and goodbye\u201d.
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the giant TREE<\/strong>
whose leaves waved  in glee
round and round its trunk
\u201cYippeee\u201d we skipped and jumped.
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

in this LOBBY<\/strong>
small shoes, big shoes march
slide and shuffle, sweep and scrub
til its planks shone clean and bright. 
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

strange the KITCHEN<\/strong> smell
where all the hungry gather\u2019d
to share a foodie
a king would envy. 
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

by this STAIRCASE<\/strong>  of lovely tiles
like a mountain, up we climbed
like a valley, down we tumbled
hippity-high,  tippity-low.
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

on fancy mats we rolled,
we sang, we danced, we played
but on  these DESKS <\/strong>of green
we wrote, we drew, we ate and laughed!
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the many, many days
we dressed in SHIRTS<\/strong>
of green, of white
soldiers off to work, to play.
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

travelled we each day
in every story
in every BOOK<\/strong>
found we villains, found we heroes. 
I remember, I remember\u2026<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

these FRIENDS<\/strong> of mine
gray-haired plus some wrinkles
keep in their eyes – a wink, a twinkle
and always in my story laugh. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
